QUINOA COOKIES



Quinoa Cookies image

I bake with my three-year-old at least once a week. We have tried a plethora of different cookies with different fruits and bases. This one was a hit! My three-year-old and older child both loved these, and I did too! They are super simple to make and sneak fiber, protein, and other nutrients into dessert! I used one cookie sheet for nine cookies, three rows of three fit well.

Time 5h

Yield 11 to 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup raw white quinoa
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (organic and grass-fed preferred), melted and cooled
1 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Place the quinoa in a dry pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is evenly toasted and beginning to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
  • Add the melted butter, coconut sugar and vanilla extract to a medium bowl. Using a rubber spatula, stir to combine and soften the sugar. Add the egg and egg yolk and stir until smooth. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt and stir until it forms a soft dough. Add the chocolate chips and quinoa and stir to evenly distribute. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 1/4-cup balls of cookie dough evenly onto the baking sheets leaving 2 inches between each scoop. Flatten them slightly. Bake, rotating halfway through, until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly underdone, 13 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Chill and serve. makes about 12-16 cookies depending on spoon size.

Tips:

  • Use Old-Fashioned Oats: Old-fashioned oats provide a hearty texture and a satisfying chew to the cookies.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape better while baking.
  • Measure the Flour Correctly: To ensure the right consistency, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour instead of relying on cups.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: Baking the cookies at a moderate temperature (350°F) helps prevent them from spreading too much and ensures even cooking.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This helps them set and develop their full flavor.
