Question 1

Can I use store-bought whole wheat flour?

Accepted Answer

You can, but fresh milled flour gives the best flavor and texture. Store-bought whole wheat flour may make the cookies slightly denser.

Question 2

Why didn’t my cookies crinkle?

Accepted Answer

The crinkle comes from rolling generously in powdered sugar and baking at the right temperature. Make sure your dough isn’t too warm before baking.

Question 3

Can I make these ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can refrigerate the dough and bake later, or freeze the dough balls for future baking.
