Einkorn Peanut Butter Cookies
Einkorn peanut butter cookies are soft, classic cookies made with ancient einkorn flour. They've got the perfect balance of salty and sweet flavor and are topped with a classic crosshatch fork pattern.
Servings 28 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup (270 g) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (106 g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups (175 g) einkorn flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add peanut butter and butter. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamed and fluffy, about a minute.
- In a separate bowl, add einkorn flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to remove clumps.
- Add dry ingredients to peanut butter mixture and stir until incorporated.
- Scoop dough using a medium (1.5 tablespoon) cookie scoop or shape by hand into 1.5 inch balls. Place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Press a fork into the balls to create a crosshatch pattern.
- Bake for about 11-13 minutes, or until lightly browned around edges.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely (your cookies will be very tender straight from the oven and are much easier to handle when cooled).
Notes
- Einkorn flour measurements: 1 cup = 100 grams
- Storing dough: Cookie dough will keep in refrigerator for 2-3 days, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Storing cookies: Cookies will keep for up to 5 days in a tightly sealed container at room temperature or in the freezer for 3 months. Add a slice of bread to the cookie container to help keep cookies moist. Replace as needed (bread will dry out).
