Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

11 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cane sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
Raw sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees.
