Wheat flour cookies

Whole wheat flour is different from plain flour. They are high in protein content and there is 14grams of fiber in every 1 cup of whole wheat flour. We can substitute whole wheat flour for 1/4 to 1/3 of all-purpose flour in recipes like cookies, muffins, pancakes where usually all purpose flour is used. By replacing the wheat flour the original taste is not affected and at the same time we are benefited with increased fiber, vitamins and minerals.
