How to Make Quinoa Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Though these cookies do include quinoa flour, I can't say they are healthy since they also include white flour and refined sugar. But at least they have some additional nutrients that are not found in cookies made with all-purpose flour alone.

I often combine quinoa flour and all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour when making cookies and muffins. I find the slightly sweet and nutty taste of quinoa flour makes it suitable for baking.

Other than the quinoa flour you probably already have all the ingredients to make these cookies on hand.

Ingredients Overview:

Unsalted butter
Brown sugar
One egg
Pure vanilla extract
All-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour
Quinoa Flour
Baking soda and salt
Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps Overview:

To make these cookies, simply combine the flours, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together and set aside. In the bowl of your mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add the egg and vanilla and combine. Add the dry ingredients all at once and beat until no traces of flour remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Using a cookie scooper, scoop out balls of cookie dough and place them on the baking sheet a couple of inches apart. Press down on the balls gently to flatten them out slightly and bake until cookies are golden brown.

How to Store:

These cookies will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you have any extra cookies you can store them in a freezer bag and freeze them for up to three months. Thaw the desired quantity in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
