Chocolate Star Cookies

So we have been staying away from sugar, and have been doing a really decent job of it. The more I learn about sugar the more I know it needs to go from my diet. However, the baker in me just needs to bake sometimes. So I gave in the other night and make some cookies. Once these guys are gone we will go from practically no sugar, to no sugar again. Gotta have a treat every so often!

I decided to make Martha Stewart's Chocolate Cookie Cutouts, but change it up a bit. I only put in half the sugar, less butter, and changed up the flour.

CHOCOLATE Star Cookies (Or Not Even Chocolate)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup buckwheat flour or whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder (exclude for a plain white cookie)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter
  
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1. Mix together butter and sugar, then add in the egg and vanilla.
   
2. Mix in all the dry ingredients, flours, salt, cinnamon, and cocoa (if you are using it).
3. Wrap dough up in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for about an hour.
4. Roll out dough and cut into stars (or whatever shape you would like). Decorate as desired. 
5. Turn oven to 350 F, and bake cookies for about 8 - 9 minutes. 
6. Enjoy!
