Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop

Ingredients

Einkorn Pumpkin Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter (melted)
  • 2 cups (200g) whole wheat einkorn flour
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ tsp salt

Sugar Coating

  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Making the cookie dough

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the freshly milled einkorn flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, egg yolk, and melted butter. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
  • Cover the bowl of cookie dough with a tea towel or plastic wrap and place the dough into the refrigerator. Allow to chill for a minimum of 30 minutes. (You can go ahead and bake without chilling but without chilling the cookies will spread much more.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • When you are ready to bake the cookies using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough out onto the lined baking sheet spacing each cookie dough ball 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.

Sprinkle with sugar coating

  • In a small bowl mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together. Sprinkle the top of each cookie with the sugar mixture.
  • Allow the cookies to cool and enjoy!
