Sprouted Flour

Scottish Shortbread Cookies

December 23, 2009 by KimiHarris 25 Comments

These shortbread cookies are perfect. Buttery, slightly sweet, and a bit crumbly. Everything I ask for in a shortbread cookie. And shortbread cookies are so easy to make too! These are made with very few ingredients, just sprouted flour, coconut sugar or rapadura, butter (or coconut oil). It’s as simple and as good as that.

When I was making them I remembered shortbread cookies I had eaten when I was pregnant with Elena. I had gone through premature labor and was being kept at the hospital, though my labor had stopped. Living off of hospital food was not my favorite thing and one day my mom had brought up some shortbread cookies for me from Starbucks. There was something in those cookies I craved, and I suspect it was the healthy real butter they contained. And buttery they were! My mom started bringing me some every other day. So when I was making these, I was a little afraid that they wouldn’t be as good. But are they ever! So good.

While these cookies aren’t necessarily a Christmas cookie, they do make a great addition to a cookie platter……or they make a great single cookie! Perhaps with a Pumpkin Latte.

Here are some other cookies on this site.

Gingerbread Men (with Sprouted Flour and Unrefined Sweeteners)

Update: I forgot to mention that today is the very last day to enter the three great giveaways that I have going. Three Nourishing Must Read Books, 25 pounds of sprouted flour, Wondermill Grain Mill. Enter while it’s still open!

I am currently eating a crisp gingerbread man cookie with all of it’s spiced goodness. These are addicting. And since they aren’t overly sweet and made with sprouted flour and real butter, it’s a little too easy to convince oneself that it’s okay to have another…..and another…….and another. They remind me of some ginger cookies that my mom used to buy for us. They were thin, not to sweet, and yes, addicting.

My three year old was very excited to make gingerbread cookies this year. Her Mimi had read her the gingerbread man story, and there are so many decorations out right now using gingerbread, she actually had the idea to make them herself. I wanted to make it last week, but ended up making gingersnaps since we didn’t have a cookie cutter yet. Last night and finishing up this morning, we finally got around to it. We had a grand time making them. Here you see Elena’s little chubby hands rolling out cookie dough.

Gingersnaps (using sprouted flour and unrefined sweeteners)

I thought I’d take a little break from our week of giveaways to share a delicious cookie recipe that’s perfect for this time of year. Gingery cookies (sweetened with coconut sugar or rapadura) with warming spices and laced with molasses, served with a nice glass of milk, just about puts me into a holiday cookie seventh heaven. These cookies are dark with the flavor of molasses and spice. It’s a good consolation prize to have if you don’t win the “must read” nourishing book set or the Wondermill. At least I found it so, since I couldn’t win any of my own giveaways.
