Brown Sugar Wheat Sugar Cookies.

These are my new absolute favorite cookie. The texture alone is wonderful. They are so flaky and delicious with a wonderful glaze to top them off with. The photo does NOT do them justice please make them and try them for yourself. Here is the oh so easy recipe!!!

~Recipe~
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cup vegi shortening (not Oil)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 egg white
1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1/4 teaspoon orange rind (optional)

Cream the sugars and shortening together. add the extracts and orange, add the dry ingredients and egg white.  The cookie dough is going to be pretty "runny" not like normal cookie dough. Refridgerate for 4 hours.

preheat oven to 325. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. (you can also grease the pan but I find that parchment paper makes for much better cookies) Form into balls or use a spoon and lightly dump onto pan. bake until brown About 20 minutes give or take a few depending on your oven.

Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
water

Add all ingredients and whisk together, add the water last and keep an eye on the consistancy. you want it kind of thick.

Spoon the glaze onto warm cookies and let it run where it will. it will harden as the cookies cool.

Eat and enjoy! If you make these please let me know what you think. I LOVE them! :D
