Description
Delicious and fluffy einkorn cookies that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups einkorn flour (measured properly)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add room temperature butter and sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat until light and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until fully incorporated and fluffy, about a minute.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the einkorn flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir dry ingredients into butter mixture (or use a mixer on low speed) until just combined.
- Allow dough to rest for 15 minutes to allow einkorn flour to absorb liquids in the dough.
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop or shape by hand into 1 tablespoon balls. Gently roll dough balls in granulated sugar.
- Place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet. As is, dough balls bake into thick, rounded top cookies.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until tops look set and edges barely begin to brown.
- Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes (or until tray is cool enough to handle) before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure butter and egg are at room temperature for best results.
- Allowing the dough to rest helps achieve better texture.
- These cookies can be rolled in powdered sugar for a different finish.
