The BEST Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Made With Fresh Einkorn
The BEST Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Made With Fresh Milled Einkorn! These are so scrumptious! Even better, they are easier to digest than other flours, because they are made with all fresh milled Einkorn Flour. If you have never tried browning your butter for cookies, you are in for a real treat! The Browned Butter adds a beautiful taste like nothing else! Don’t skip this step, I promise it will be worth it!

What Is So Special About Einkorn?
Einkorn seems to be rising in popularity, however, it is not a new wheat/flour. In fact, Einkorn is one of our original wheats. It is great to see that this rise in popularity has also increased awareness about this special little wheat kernel/berry. This “ancient grain,” is also referred to as the “Virgin Wheat.” Einkorn has been reported as being tolerated in people with Gluten Sensitivities. However, this should be used with caution, especially in someone with a true Celiac condition.
Einkorn is higher in protein than most other wheat varieties, but doesn’t develop a strong gluten structure. Also, Einkorn has been found to have a higher nutritional content of vitamins and minerals as more modern wheats. Examples of these include higher levels of fat, phosphorus, potassium, pyridoxine, and beta-carotene. You can buy Einkorn pre-ground into flour already, or you can buy the whole berry. To make beautiful fresh milled flour, mill the whole berry at home! In conclusion, this is the method I would recommend, the fresher the better!
As the popularity of this grain rises, unfortunately, so does the price. But, to me it still is very much worth it. I have tried a few brands, and HERE is one of my favorites!

Ingredients For The Best Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Einkorn Cookie Recipe
- 1 cup of butter (225g)
- 2&2/3 cup Fresh Milled Einkorn Flour (365g) Mill 1&2/3 cup of einkorn berries to get that flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup sugar (210g)
- 1 cup brown sugar(210g)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla (I love to use my homemade HERE)
- 1 bag Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips (340g)
Instructions For The Best Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Einkorn Cookie Recipe
- First, brown your butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Make sure to watch this step, as the butter boils it can foam out of the pan quickly. It will bubble, then foam. Don’t walk away, it can burn quickly too. Once the butter solids have browned, remove from heat, and let it cool to below 110* F
- While waiting for the butter to cool, Mill your flour. I milled 1&2/3 cup of Einkorn berries to get my total flour.
- Now, add your baking powder, baking soda, and salt to your milled flour and mix in.
- Once the butter has cooled slightly, put it in your mixer with the sugars, and beat to combine for about 2 minutes.
- Next, add your eggs one at a time, then beat for about 3 minutes on medium high. It is ok if it looks greasy at this stage, it will come together later.
- Add your vanilla and beat for 2 more minutes until fully combines. At this stage, it should resemble a cake batter consistency.
- Slowly add your flour mixture on low until everything is all incorporated.
- Lastly, add the chocolate chips, and mix in gently.
- Let the dough rest in the fridge.
- Preheat oven to 350*F
- Scoop with cookie scoop onto a lined baking sheet, and bake for 9 to 10 minutes.
*Alternate Bake for Later Option*
- After the dough is made, scoop cookie balls onto a lined baking sheet, and flash freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Put these frozen raw cookie dough balls into a freezer safe container, and freeze for up to 4 months. You can use as many as you want, just bake them straight from frozen at 350* for 11-12 minutes.

Can you use a different grain in the same amount instead of the Einkorn?
Yes! I would say soft white wheat would be a great substitution! And, if you have a sourdough starter, The recipe I posted in the link below levels up this cookie recipe! YUM!
