Best Gooey Einkorn Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you’re a cookie lover like us, you are going to love these chewy, gooey einkorn chocolate chip cookies. We have discovered the ultimate solution with this Einkorn chocolate chip cookie recipe. These delightful treats not only melt in your mouth, but also have the perfect combination of gooeyness and crispiness around the edges. There is a trick to achieving this- it is called the smoosh method. We have spent lots of time perfecting these cookies and Einkorn flour is a great way to sneak in some added benefits.

Einkorn flour is an ancient grain  that is the oldest variety of wheat. It has recently gained popularity among health enthusiasts and bakers alike. It is made up of a single grain and is known for its rich flavor and health benefits. Einkorn flour is the only non hybridized wheat, making it easier to digest. Unlike modern wheat, einkorn flour has a higher protein and lower gluten content. This ancient grain really shines when it comes to baking cookies, providing a unique texture and flavor that sets it apart from other flours.  It is not completely gluten free, it just has less gluten and more protein than it’s competitors which changes the way your body breaks the flour down.

Simply Chocolate Chips

Nestle Toll House Simply Chocolate Chips is our favorite brand of chocolate chips for it’s 3 ingredients.  So many other brands have additive that are not needed.  For this recipe, we love using the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

The Key to Gooeyness

The secret to achieving a gooey texture in your Einkorn flour chocolate chip cookies lies in the combination of ingredients and careful baking techniques. To start, make sure you use high-quality chocolate chips- we use the Nestle simple semi sweet chocolate chips. Melting the butter and then refrigerating dough really helps get the gooey piece.

The Chewy Cookies

This might sound really confusing, but I have uploaded a video to explain the The smoosh method to get the cookies the perfect consistency. You will want to do this as soon as you pull the cookies out of the oven and they are piping hot.  Take two forks on opposite edges and simply smoosh the cookies together.  It helps them not cool as quickly in the center creating the perfect cookie.

Achieving Crispy Edges

While the goal is for the middle of the cookie to be gooey, the edges demand a perfect crispness. To achieve this, make sure you refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilled dough spreads less, allowing the edges to become crispy while keeping the center soft and gooey. Another tip is to slightly underbake the cookies, as they will continue to bake and firm up once removed from the oven. This ensures a perfect balance between the coveted crispy edges and tender center.
