Digestive Biscuits (Irish Cookies) feat. Gemma Stafford!

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option with a similar texture.

whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: spelt flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Spelt flour adds a nutty flavor while being a healthier alternative.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup icing sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Add a little bit of baking powder to the dry ingredients.

Mix the dry ingredients together with a spatula.

Cut in 1/2 cup cubed Irish butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add a few tablespoons of milk to the mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Dust the counter with flour and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.

Use a round cutter to cut out biscuit shapes from the dough.

Stamp the biscuits with a stamp to create the word 'digestive' on each one.

Poke a few holes in each biscuit with a toothpick.

Place the biscuits on a baking tray and bake at 350°F (160°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and firm.
