Einkorn Peanut Butter Cookies
These Einkorn Peanut Butter Cookies are a textural adventure. They're soft and chewy in the center, with crisp and crackly edges that give a satisfying crunch. Each bite bursts with rich peanut buttery flavor, evoking all the nostalgia of a classic peanut butter cookie. But that's not all! Made with Einkorn flour, these cookies offer a unique and delightful twist. With its added nutrients, delightful texture, and rich flavor, it's a baking adventure worth exploring.
Equipment
- 1 Kitchen aid stand mixer or hand mixer
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter Room temperature
- 1/2 cup Coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar Plus more for rolling the cookies in
- 2 Eggs Room temperature
- 1/2 cup Peanut butter Creamy - See notes
- 2 cups Einkorn flour All purpose (spooned and leveled)
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Prep Pan: Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cream butter & sugars: In stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream together room temperature butter, coconut sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and well incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add Eggs & PB: Add room temperature eggs and peanut butter. Mix until fully incorporated. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add dry ingredients: Add einkorn flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix until incorporated, but do not over mix.
- Scoop and roll in sugar: Using a large cookie scoop (about 3.2 tablespoons), scoop out the dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing cookies 2–3 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork, creating a classic crisscross pattern.
- Bake: Bake in 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 12-14 minutes. This creates 12 large bakery style cookies (3.2 tbsp each); you can reduce the size and adjust cooking time accordingly.
Notes
I recommend using a natural PB – just ensure it’s very well stirred until completely smooth and no oily or dry bits remain. This gives a stronger peanut butter flavor vs conventional peanut butter.
