Description

Delicious cookies made with einkorn flour and flavored with maple syrup and vanilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter, cold
  • 2 1/4 cups einkorn flour (261g)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (we use homemade)

Instructions

  1. Cut the butter into 1/2 inch pieces. In a food processor, pulse to combine flour and butter (about 20 seconds).
  2. Add maple syrup and vanilla and mix until combined.
  3. Scrape dough onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper (plastic wrap works better) and form into a brick about 1 inches tall, by 3 inches wide.
  4. Wrap fully in plastic wrap and freeze for at least an hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  6. Remove dough from freezer and remove plastic wrap. Cut brick into strips about 1/2 inch thick and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  7. Using a skewer, make 6 holes evenly in the dough to help keep it flat.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are browned. Rotate tray half-way through baking time.
  9. If the cookies puff up a bit, press gently with a flat spatula for about 5 seconds to flatten.
  10. Allow cookies to cool for at least 3 minutes before trying to move.
  11. If cookies are not fully cooked in the middle, put them back in the oven at 350°F for 3 minutes increments until fully cooked.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold butter.
  • Make sure to freeze the dough to ensure cookies retain their shape.
