Gather The Tools You May Need:

• Cookie baking sheet.
• Parchment paper or Silicon baking mats – I use these Amazon ones.
• Mixer – I don’t really recommend using a hand mixer just because the dough can get a bit stiff. I use my kitchenAid stand mixer for this cookie recipe. If you don’t have a stand mixer then I would just use my hands.
• Measuring spoons.
• A large bowl to mix all the dry ingredients.
• Wooden spoon.
• Cast iron skillet.
• Optional: Cookie scoop to get even cookie dough balls. If you don’t have one no worries. I usually use my ice cream scoop or my hands to mold the dough into little balls.
• Cooling rack.

Gather the Einkorn Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients:

• 2 cups Unsalted butter (at room temperature)
• 3/4 cups Organic brown sugar.
• 3/4 cups Organic white sugar.
• 2 Eggs.
• 2 tsp. Pure vanilla extract. Here’s an easy peasy homemade vanilla extract recipe!
• 4 cups Einkorn all purpose flour or you can mill your own einkorn berries of course.
• 1 tsp. Baking soda.
• 1 tsp. Redmond’s real salt or flaky sea salt.
• 1 cup Milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips.
• 1 tsp. Coconut oil.
• 1 Tbs. Honey.
• 1 cup Pecan pieces.

I like to order in bulk organic baking essentials a couple of times a year. Ingredients like chocolate chips, coconut oil, salt, baking soda, and sweeteners have a long shelf life in the pantry.

How to Make Einkorn Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1. Set a cast iron skillet or a stainless steel skillet to preheat on the stove top on medium heat.
2. Preheat the oven to 375
3. In a stand mixer mix together butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well combined.
4. Add in the two eggs and two teaspoons of vanilla.
5. In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients together. Four cups of einkorn flour, one teaspoon of baking soda, and one teaspoon of salt.
6. Add the dry ingredients (one cup at a time) to the wet ingredients you have in the stand mixer and mix until well combined.
7. Turn off the mixer and let the dough rest for a few minutes while you toast the *pecan pieces.
8. To the pre-heated skillet add one teaspoon of coconut oil and turn heat to medium low heat.
9. Add the pecan pieces and constantly stir with a wooden spoon to avoid burning.
10. Once the pecan pieces are toasted to your liking add one tablespoon of honey and turn off the heat. Keep stirring until honey is completely melted and well incorporated into the pecans.
11. To the cookie dough add one cup of chocolate chips and the toasted pecans. Mix with the wooden spoon.
12. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mat.
13. Scoop little balls (about half an inch to one inch in diameter) of raw dough to the cookie sheet.
14. Bake for eleven minutes or until golden brown.
15. Once done place cookies on a wire rack and let cool for five to ten minutes.

Einkorn Cookies Recipe Notes:

Einkorn flour takes longer to hydrate than regular all purpose white flour so If you can allow the dough to rest for a couple of hours in the fridge that would be great. But if you are like me and decide you have a cookie craving at the end of a long day, you can totally just whip up and bake within a half an hour.

Either way I think they turn out perfect every time!

this recipe makes about three and a half dozen cookies. You can cut this recipe in half to make less cookies or double it to make a double batch.

If you decide to make a double batch, you should know the dough freezes beautifully. For best results, separate dough into cookie sized balls and place inside a freezer bag in a single layer. When you’re ready to bake just take them out of the freezer and add one or two minutes to the bake time.

Store baked cookies inside an airtight container for up to five days…..if you can make them last that long!

*You can choose to leave out the pecan pieces for more of a classic recipe.

Einkorn Flour Benefits:

Einkorn flour has become a staple in many homes the last few years because it’s the most ancient grain that remains unchanged; It has never been hybridized

The more processed a food is, the more of it’s nutritional value it looses.

There has been zero engineering or alteration of this wheat by scientists so far.

That’s why einkorn wheat is a great source of protein, trace minerals, Iron, magnesium, fiber, and a variety of B vitamins.

Although Einkorn is not a gluten free option, it is much easier to digest because it has fifty percent less physic acid than modern wheat.

Because einkorn flour is much easier to digest, the body is better able to absorb its nutrients.

You won’t experience that bloated feeling you most likely get when you eat breads or cookies made with regular wheat. Einkorn flour may help with inflammation because it is high in magnesium and vitamin B6.

Einkorn Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies FAQ’s

Can you substitute regular flour in place of einkorn flour in this recipe?

Yes, the recipe should turn out just fine with regular flour. The only thing that will be different is the taste because einkorn flour has more of a rich nutty taste.

Can you freeze einkorn pecan chocolate chip cookies?

Yes you can freeze these cookies after they are baked and cooled down to room temperature. Place them in a glass container or in a freezer bag.

You can also freeze the dough before you bake. Just scoop the raw cookie dough into the desired size ball and place inside a freezer bag in a flat layer in the freezer.

When you are ready to bake, you don’t even have to wait for the dough to thaw. Just preheat the oven to 375 and bake for 11-13 minutes.

Freezing the raw cookie dough balls will yield ideal results, giving you freshly baked chewy chocolate chip cookies in half the time.

Can you use vegetable oil instead of butter for this recipe?

You probably can, but just know the cookies won’t turn out very chewy.

Any time you use oil instead of butter in a cookie recipe, the cookies will turn out crunchy.

Also, believe it or not butter is a healthier choice than using vegetable oil. If you prefer to use oil, I recommend using coconut or avocado oil instead.

If you try and love this recipe as much as our family does, I would LOVE if you shared this cookie recipe on social media and left a five star review on the recipe card!
