What Einkorn flour should I use for baking Einkorn cookies?

For cookies, muffins, quick breads and other similar einkorn recipe(s), I recommend using ALL purpose Einkorn flour. My personal favorite Einkorn flour is Jovial Einkorn ALL purpose or farm 2 flour. 

Whole wheat einkorn flour contains all parts of the grain, including the bran and germ providing more nutrients and a denser texture, while all-purpose einkorn has some of the bran and germ removed and is a more refined version with a lighter texture, making it ideal for baked goods. Whole wheat einkorn flour is great for bread making and rustic breads. 

What other cookies can I make with Einkorn flour?

On my blog, I’ve developed a diverse collection of recipes that feature Einkorn flour as a key ingredient. The standout among these recipes is undoubtedly my Einkorn Chocolate Chip Cookies, which is the most popular recipe on the blog and definitely worth a try! The nutty undertones and slightly chewier texture that Einkorn flour provides can enhance the overall flavor profile of the cookies, making them a favorite by readers.

FAQs And helpful Tips for the best Einkorn Cookies

  • Be Sure to use room temperature eggs and butter. You don’t want your butter to coagulate with your eggs.  Ensuring all ingredients are the correct temperature will ensure the best results.

  • Storing and freezing- You can freeze the dough in balls and bake according to directions or freeze the already baked cookies in an airtight container such as a Ziploc. May be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.  

  • Measure correctly- Spoon and level your flour for the best results. Try not to use substitutions unless the recipe indicates a substitution can be used.

    I am very new to making my own flour and although I have very little experience, I can see that Einkorn is quickly becoming my favorite. I have made these Peanut Butter Cookies 4 times and they are always perfect & delicious. I am excited to learn more. Thank you so much for sharing.

    1. Thank you! I am so grateful for the feedback; A big part of why I started this blog was to share my own passion for einkorn flour and develop recipes that are every bit as delicious – if not even more so – than those made with conventional flour. I’m so glad you are enjoying my recipe!

    1. Hi Joni, I haven’t tested this recipe with freshly milled flour, so I can’t guarantee results, but it should work just fine. I don’t have the exact gram measurements for this recipe, but I typically use about 120 grams per cup, so it’s likely around that. Keep in mind that freshly milled flour weighs differently than all-purpose einkorn, especially if it’s not sifted, so measuring about 120g per cup will likely give the best results.

      Generally, you only run into issues with freshly milled einkorn in yeast or sourdough recipes, unless you adjust the liquid. For quickbreads, cookies, and similar baked goods, substituting freshly milled flour is usually straightforward and works well gram for gram. Hope that helps, and let me know if it works out!
