Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup einkorn flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the einkorn flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as einkorn flour can become tough if worked too much.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly.
- For extra indulgence, try using a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and soft texture.
- If the dough seems too sticky, chill it for 30 minutes before baking for easier handling.
