Ingredients for the simple and tasty semi-wholewheat cookies

I used part whole wheat flour; if you prefer you can substitute it with type 00 flour (all-purpose).

1 cup type 00 (all-purpose) flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 1/2 tbsp butter
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
1 grated zest of one lemon
1 1/4 cups lemon jam

Steps for the semi-wholewheat lemon cookies

In a bowl pour all the ingredients, except the jam, and begin to mix.
Once all the ingredients are combined, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and work it for a few minutes. Once you have formed the loaf, divide it into two and roll out both portions.
Lay one rolled dough on a sheet of parchment paper and spread the lemon jam evenly over it. Cover with the other rolled dough and cut into squares, strips or any shape you prefer using a knife.
Space the squares apart and bake at 356°F (preheated conventional oven) for 20 minutes.
The simple and tasty semi-wholewheat lemon cookies are ready.
