What is Einkorn Flour?
Einkorn flour is a non-hybridized wheat. It is an ancient grain, not a modern wheat, making it easier on digestion and healthier. Many who are sensitive to gluten can enjoy einkorn flour baked goods. Einkorn flour contains more protein and less carbs, along with lots of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. It tastes slightly sweet with a nutty flavor, making it the perfect flour to use for sweets like these chocolate chip einkorn cookies.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Einkorn Cookies

Combine dry ingredients together in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Then cream butter and sugar together in a mixer on medium speed, until fluffy, this can take about 5 minutes. You can add in the molasses at this time too. Next, turn the mixer to low and add in the egg and vanilla just until combined. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl so that everything becomes incorporated. Still on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture, one scoop at a time.

Just as the dough has come together remove from the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips. Using a cookie scoop, place extra large scoops on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes at 375°.
