Pumpkin Sugar Cookies
Nutrition Notes Does the Whole-Wheat Pastry Flour Add Any Nutrition? Whole-wheat pastry flour is milled from soft white wheat—compared to regular whole-wheat flour, which is milled from hard red wheat.

And because whole-wheat is a whole grain, eating it can help reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Compare that to refined white flour which has had the bran and germ removed.

Due to their protein, vitamins, and fiber content, almonds are a great food to consume every day. A regular intake of them is thought to reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
