Wheatmeal Shortbread Wedge
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup wheat bran
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 sticks (14 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- Granulated sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Have ready a 10-inch springform pan or a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix both flours, the bran, and salt on low speed just to combine.
- Add the butter and brown sugar, and beat until all the ingredients come together and form smooth dough, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Turn out dough into the pan.
- Using your fingers, spread out the dough evenly while pressing it firmly into the pan.
- Place pan in oven, and reduce temperature to 300F.
- Bake until the edges just begin to turn golden, about 30 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven; using a bench scraper or long, sharp knife, score the cookie into 8 wedges.
- Using the tip of a wooden skewer or the tines of a fork, prick the shortbread all over in a decorative pattern, if desired.
- Return pan to oven, and bake until golden all over, about 15 minutes more.
- Transfer pan to a wire rack.
- Sprinkle shortbread with granulated sugar.
- Remove the sides of the pan.
- Let stand until completely cool before cutting into wedges.
- Shortbread can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- After partially baking, the shortbread is scored into wedges using a bench scraper, then decoratively pierced with a wooden skewer.
