Monster Cookies with Fresh Milled Flour
Servings 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup soft white wheat (I use 116 grams soft white and 40 grams Einkorn) 156 grams
- 1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats 112 grams
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100 grams
- 1/2 cup brown sugar 110 grams
- 2/3 cup peanut butter 167 grams
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups total mix of mini m&ms or mini peanut butter m&ms and mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 2 light colored baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- Mill the wheat berries into a medium bowl. To the flour, add oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine, set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Cream together for 3 minutes, until it’s lighter in color and a little fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the peanut butter and beat until well mixed, 20-30 seconds. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beat another 30-60 seconds. Add the flour mixture and mix on low just until there is almost no dry flour. Add the m&ms and chocolate chips and mix on low just until everything is mixed together.
- Spoon onto prepared baking sheets with a small cookie scoop or tablespoon. Bake for 10-13 minutes, just until edges are set. Don’t over bake.
