2. Add Eggs: Once the sugar and butter are well combined, add the egg and egg white to the mixture. Beat until thoroughly mixed, ensuring a smooth consistency throughout.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, stirring until a stiff dough forms.

4. Shape Dough: With clean hands, shape the dough into balls slightly larger than 1 inch in diameter. The dough may be slightly stiff, but this is normal and will yield wonderfully chewy cookies.

5. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon to create the deliciously sweet topping for your cookies.

6. Coat Dough Balls: Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated. This step not only adds flavor but also gives the cookies their signature snickerdoodle appearance.

7. Place on Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line ungreased baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange the coated dough balls on the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.

8. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and set around the edges. As they bake, the cookies will puff up slightly before flattening out, creating a perfect chewy texture.

9. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these Whole Wheat Snickerdoodles with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage for a delightful treat!

These Whole Wheat Snickerdoodles are a wholesome yet indulgent dessert option that’s perfect for any occasion, from family gatherings to holiday celebrations.
