Finnish Rye Cookies
Looking for a new type of cookie to bake this weekend? Maybe a cookie that is a little more on the healthy side, than those sugar cookies you consumed way too many of during the holiday season? These Finnish Rye Cookies are made using mostly Rye Flour, along with a little all-purpose flour. Rye Flour can be found at a specialty store, like a Whole Foods, or you can also purchase online from Bob’s Red Mill. The light rye flour is what I would recommend for these cookies.
These Finnish Rye Cookies are very simple and bake up in only 7 minutes!
