  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
  • Add the first 4 ingredients to a bowl and whisk well.
  • In another big bowl add the two flours, salt and baking powder. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the chocolate and gently fold it in.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until moist.
  • Turn the dough over onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until the flour is incorporated. Place the dough onto a baking sheet and using a rolling pin roll the dough until it's about 3/4 of an inch in thickness.
  • Brush the dough with the egg white, then cut it into 12 pieces, you can use a pizza cutter or a knife. Sprinkle the top with sugar.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
