- 2 tbsp Organic Valley Heavy Whipping Cream (for frosting)
- Combine the three flours and salt in a medium bowl; whisk to combine.
- In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter on medium speed until creamy. Add brown and granulated sugars and vanilla; beat until smooth, lighter in color and fluffy. Add dry ingredients; mix on low speed until well-blended.
- Form dough into two disks; wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 45 minutes or up to one week.
