Finish the dough
Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and the salt. Stir with a spatula until no dry ingredients are visible. The dough will be very soft, especially if the coconut oil was liquid.

Shape and roll the dough
Lay out a piece of plastic wrap on your work surface. Scrape the dough out onto the plastic wrap and using the spatula or your hands, smooth the dough into a log about 1½” in diameter and 8” long. Wrap the log in the plastic wrap and roll it a few times on the counter to smooth the surface. Twist the ends of the dough to seal the package. The log may settle and flatten a bit, this is fine. Refrigerate until just firm, about 10-15 minutes.

Roll in turbinado sugar, if using
Unwrap the dough. If desired, add the turbinado sugar to a shallow bowl or plate and roll the log in the sugar, pressing the sugar lightly into the dough to adhere and fully cover the surface of the log.

Slice the cookies
Place the dough on a chopping board. Slice the log crosswise into ¼”-thick rounds. If the cookies crack or fall apart, let the dough stand at room temperature for 5 minutes and then resume slicing. You should have 18-22 cookies when you are finished. If needed, pat together to reshape the cookies.

Cool on the June Pan and bake the remaining cookies
Remove the cookies from the June Oven. Cool for 10 minutes on the June Pan before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Cool the June Pan, then repeat with the remaining dough.
