Whole wheat water cookies recipe. Because with this story that everything harms us, we must find a solution; if we also want to manage the household economy, creating something good without spending a fortune is even better! Many old-fashioned cookies were made with inexpensive raw materials, naturally flour was never missing, often it was coarse and stone-ground, now I can say it’s a blessing to find untreated flours. Eggs were added to bind; lard or oil, butter when available, to give a little softness and friability. If milk was available at home, it was used, otherwise water was used. Here is a whole wheat water cookie, light and crumbly. You can choose whether to leave it soft or a bit drier. I could almost say a healthy cookie! This is the base. Sometimes I add chocolate chips or sprinkle the surface with chopped nuts: hazelnuts or almonds. It thus becomes a cookie to give as a gift, to dip; to eat as a snack.

as needed water

Steps

Very simple cookies to prepare, guaranteed result, unique flavor.

In a bowl or stand mixer, mix the flour with the sugar and the baking ammonia. Then add the rest of the ingredients, adding the water last. Mix carefully until you get a soft dough you can spoon, if you add a larger amount of water you can use a pastry bag for soft cookies.
With the help of two spoons, transfer the dough onto the tray. The volume will double during baking, so adjust the spacing accordingly. You can also form them into sticks.
Bake in a preheated oven at 355°F for 10 to 15 minutes if you prefer a dry cookie.
Remove from oven and let cool. They are ready, fragrant and to be enjoyed.
If dry, they can be stored in a paper bag for many days. If soft, for three to four days. If you prefer the soft version, do not close them in plastic bags and store in a dry place.
