Einkorn Cookie Overview

Where to buy einkorn flour

Einkorn flour has become increasingly accessible in grocery stores, especially at whole food markets, co-ops, amazon and specialty shops. Jovial and farm2flour are both reputable brands offering high-quality einkorn flour and both I’ve used and really love.

I particularly appreciate that farm2flour mills their grain fresh before shipping, which results in a deeper, richer flavor and truly exceptional taste. Ordering einkorn flour in bulk can be a great way to save money, but if you’re just getting your feet wet with einkorn flour jovial is great for consistency and convenience as its more widely available on store shelves.

It is important to note that each brands weight in flour will vary, this has to do with how they mill their flour, their grain etc. for consistency in recipes I do recommend weighing flour to 120grams per cup or using the spoon and level method for the best results.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Salted butter
  • 1 cup Rolled oats old fashioned (organic)
  • 1/2 cup Softened salted butter
  • 1/2 cup Coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 large Eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cup Einkorn all purpose flour (270g)
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Chopped dark chocolate bar
  • 1/2 cup Milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Add 1/4 cup butter into a 10–12-inch sauté pan and begin to brown the butter over medium-low heat. Once the butter begins to foam, add in 1 cup rolled oats. Continue to brown the butter and toast the oats stirring continuously until brown bits begin to form, you smell a nutty aroma, and the oats begin to look caramel colored. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Using a paddle attachment, cream together 1/2 cup room temperature butter and sugars until smooth, lighter in color and increased in volume. Usually 2-3 minutes, you may need to scrape the sides of the bowl down once or twice.
  • Scape down the sides of the bowl, then add in room temperature eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • Add in flour, baking soda, salt, cooled browned oats and chopped chocolate. Mix until just combined.
  • Using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out dough onto parchment lined baking sheet. Press a few more chocolate chips/chucks into the top of the cookie. Bake in 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10-12 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flaked sea salt if desired.

Notes

Note: Refrigerating dough is optional, it allows the butter and flour to absorb the flavors and makes for a better tasting cookie, but is not required. Refrigerate for 30 minutes if desired.

  1. My mistake – unfortunately when I doubled the recipe on the print recipe function it doesn’t change the 270g of flour to 540g. So my cookies turned out very sad but the flavor was fantastic! I’m going to retry them again tomorrow.

    1. Hi Miranda, thanks for bringing that to my attention, I will see if I can move the grams over to cups measurements in order for them to properly double. Were you making cookies or muffins? This recipe for pumpkin muffins you commented on uses 210grams, but my chocolate chip cookies recipe uses 270 grams.
