If you've read any of my earlier posts, then you know that I am playing with wheat berries. First I tried grinding them into flour with a coffee maker; and I got what resembled flour and tasted pretty good in the whole grain loaf of bread that I made in my bread maker. So now I decided to try baking our favorite Spritzer cookie using this same whole grain flour that I ground in our handy dandy coffee grinder. These, however, did not come out quite as successful as the bread flour did. I am now realizing that a grain grinder is actually necessary for proper grinding. The cookies have cracked wheat that isn't really cracked enough . . . and if I am to eat these cookies, then I have to have a great deal of patience to let my own teeth do the rest of the grinding. They taste fine otherwise, so the lesson that I have learned here is that a properly ground whole grain flour makes a perfectly tasty Spritzer cookie.
