Soft Einkorn Ginger Cookies

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c butter softened
  • 1 c granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 c unsulphured molasses
  • 2 3/4 c All-purpose Einkorn flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cloves or allspice
  • ~2 Tbsp granulated sugar to roll cookie dough balls in

Instructions

  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses and mix until combined. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt, and spices, and mix. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients mixture and stir just until combined.
  • Cover and chill dough for at least 1 hour. Chilling the dough is critical as it allows the butter to solidify and the einkorn to absorb some of the liquid so your cookies won’t be too flat.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Scoop small balls of dough and roll them in the granulated sugar. Place cookie dough balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone sheets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. Allow to cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet, then enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag for 3-5 days.
