Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies

I used orange zest because I didn't have lemon. They were still wonderful. I also use ground flax as an egg substitute (due to food allergies) and they turned out great!

These were really good cookies! I am so happy to find a 100% whole wheat cookie recipe that my family will eat without question. I used white whole wheat flour, because of its milder flavor, and my hubby was so disappointed when the cookies were gone. A few comments I have is that I'm not sure I'd call them "sugar cookies", because of the spices involved, and the fact that cinnamon is included in the sugar coating (kinda like a snickerdoodle w/lemon flavor). Whatever you decide to call them, they are good. I know that these will be requested very soon, because whenever I can find one recipe that all 8 (yes, eight!) of us agree on, I know I've found a winner! Thanks so much!

Best sugar cookies ever. Very simple recipe. Followed ingredient list except the cinnamon. The nutmeg gives it a really nice flavor so it should not be left out. I did sub turbinado sugar for the regular sugar and I didnt use the full cup; I think it was more like close to 3/4 but not quite as I didnt want my daughter having too much sugar. She used cutters and rolled them out and cut them pretty much by herself. The texture is great; not cakey but not rock hard either; more like an inbetween chewey/soft texture. I liked that they were not too sweet but it didnt taste like I cut back on the sugar at all. We left some plain and covered some with sprinkles. Cannot imagine making a different recipe with this being much healthier. Thanks for sharing!

Great cookie! I've made these a couple of times. The hint of lemon gives them a nice taste. I especially like whole grain recipes since they are so much healthier than refined flour.

One great cookie! I followed the recipe...except I used a little less sugar and added the cinnamon to the dough. ;) I'm going to play with this one and try to get the calorie count down so I can make them more often. The spices and lemon zest make this a stand above the crowd, cookie.
Made for MizzNezz's cook-a-thon. Stay strong girl.

These are really great. Perfect crumbly crunchy sugar cookies. I put the cinnamon right into the dough and as I was making them with kids, we rolled them in different coloured sugar. My only thing is-how big is everyone else making these cookies?? The recipe says 12, but I got double that and they were still too big for dunking! They probably cooked 10-12 minutes. I use PC brand organic whole wheat flour and you don't taste that "whole wheatiness". I actually sub that flour one for one in most recipes and it works out great. (don't know if you can get it outside of Canada though)

I made these and they were so tasty! My friends loved them. I didn't use any lemon and I put the cinnamon in the dough. They tasted very whole wheat floury, but you could still taste the sugar which was good. I'll definately make them again.

I am so pleased with these cookies!!! They were simply AWESOME!! They got two thumbs up with the 6 yr old!! Only thing I did different is I put the cinnamon in the dough and omitted the nutmeg (wanted as close to sugar cookie as I can) After the dough was chilled we rolled them out and cut into stars for our 4th of July party!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Good cookies! I used cardamom instead of nutmeg, and added a half tsp. of almond extract. I agree about not leaving out the lemon rind. It really does contribute a nice layer of flavor with the spices. I will be making these often. Thanks!

Yummy! I didn't know what to expect from whole wheat, but these are so tasty and have wonderful texture- not too soft not too hard. They're quite similar to snickerdoodles. I don't really taste the lemon zest, so I might try them without it just to see. I'm steering away from white flour, so these are a delicious alternative. Thank you for sharing!

These are the best cookies I've ever made. I didn't use the lemon zest, but otherwise followed the recipe. I'm doing away with white flour, rice, bread, etc. so I was very excited to see this recipe and the great reviews. We made them last night and today they are still nice and chewy. So good!

I followed the recipe exactly except I substituted a tablespoon of lemon juice because I didn't have any zest. I found the time to be about right for my oven. You wouldn't believe heavy whole wheat could be this fluffy. I'll be making it again.

Yummy cookies, and I love that they use all whole wheat flour. Don't skip the lemon zest, it gives a great flavor. Suggest taking out of the oven before they look done as they'll firm up a great deal during cooling. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Good cookies...they had a light airy texture unlike traditional sugar cookies. They were easy to make, and the lemon was a nice touch.

Wonderful cookie! I've switched to whole wheat flour in our house & this fits the bill perfectly! Thankfully I now don't have to give up yummy sugar cookies! Sweet, delicious & low calorie-I couldn't ask for anything better. Baking time was only around 5 minutes for me & I left out the lemon zest. Thank you sooo much for this!

These were great. I am so glad to finally find a good whole wheat cookie. I used 1/2 cup honey and 1/3 sugar. They still turned out great. Next time I will use only honey. My kids and husband loved the flavor. Thank you for sharing.
