Hi there, it's me Hani from Haniela's. I'm sorry I've been absent for couple of months, I know I promised I'll be here every month sharing my contributor's posts and  I truly hope you can forgive me for slacking. What I'm really hoping for is that with ice cream I can win you over. What do you say?

All jokes aside, these cookies are delicious, I mean really yummy, addition of chocolate (YES, that is chocolate: dark, white and red) makes them over the top, and your kids won't even know they are eating something that has whole wheat flour.

Follow the same instructions, don't over process.
  • Once chilled, take the dough out, roll it out between 2 pieces of wax or parchment paper, you want to roll it out fairly thin, about 1/8 inch or even less is fine.Use a fork to poke holes all over the dough.
  • Using a cookie cutter cut out as many cookies as you can. Re-roll scraps until you use all the dough.
  • Transfer cookies onto the baking sheets, you can space them out fairly close, they won't spread too much.
  • Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes, or until golden brown, watch carefully so they don't burn. Thicker cookies need more baking time, thinner cookie will be done faster.Let the cookies cool completely.
  • You can now store the cookies in an airtight container and munch on them during the week, they make a perfect after lunch snack as well.
