The Best Einkorn Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cooking with einkorn can be tricky when trying to get old familiar recipes right. I have perfected the einkorn chocolate chip cookie recipe for you!
Ingredients
- 55 g butter
- 100 g brown sugar
- 60 g sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 240 g einkorn flour all-purpose
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
- 100 g chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, or standing mixer, cream together 55 g butter, 100 g brown sugar, and 60 g sugar. Mix on medium speed.
- Add 1 egg, mix until combined. Mix on medium-low speed.
- Add ½ tsp vanilla extract and mix. Scrape the down the sides and mix until fully combined. Mix on medium-low speed.
- Turn your mixer off. Add 240 g einkorn flour, ½ tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt Mix on medium-low speed until fully combined with wet ingredients.
- Turn your mixer off. From here you will mix with a spatula. Add 100 g chocolate chips.
- I use an 1/8 cup to measure out mounds of cookie dough, you can use a cookie scoop, or 2 scoops with a tablespoon. Place your cookie dough mounds on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them at least 2 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes, depending on how gooey you like the centers!
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes then enjoy!
Notes
Notes:
- I always double or triple this recipe and freeze the dough balls on a cookie sheet.
- Once frozen move to a sealable container and bake as many as you need the next time you need a quick desert that has no mess!
- You can add an extra egg to this recipe, it will make the cookies less fluffy and more rich in taste. However, it will also make the dough less friendly to handle, as it is much sticker in texture. I recommend this step, however that is a preference. If adding an extra egg, add an additional 2 minutes to your cook time.
- This recipe has only been tested with einkorn all purpose flour, if you substitute another flour the results may not turn out.
- Double the butter if you’d prefer a less cake like cookie.
- My recipes are tried and tested in a humid climate around 1,500 feet in elevation. Depending on your elevation, you may have to alter my recipe slightly. Higher elevation cook times should bake between 8-10 minutes.
