Carrot Apple Shortbread Cookies

In case your wondering, yes this is a vegetarian recipe.
Ingredients:

1/4 c semolina flour
1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t sea salt
5 oz unsalted butter, room temp
2/3 c light muscavado sugar or brwn sugar
2 oz carrot, grated
1 oz apple, grated
zest of one lemon
soymilk

Preheat oven to 350,sift the semolina, flour, baking pwdr, and salt into a med bowl set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir the carrot, apple, and lemon zest into the flour mixture, and mix until well coated. Stir the flour mix into the butter mix until a dough forms, then knead a couple times. Split the dough in two and flatten each piece into a thick patty, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 30 mins.

When you're rdy to bake the shortbread, roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Use metal cutters to stamp out the cookies, then place them on a parchemtn lined baking sheet. Brush lightly w/ a bit of the milk and bake for about ten mins, or until the edges start to brown.

*These are REALLY good. I love a light flavored cookie. You get your sweet kick w/o sacrificing a ton of calories.*
