Time 1h10m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups water
½ cup amaranth
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine water and amaranth together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until water is absorbed and amaranth grains are fluffy, about 20 minutes. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat cooked amaranth and peanut butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in sugar until completely dissolved. Add butter to amaranth mixture and mix; stir in egg until smooth.
  • Whisk all-purpose flour, pastry flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to amaranth mixture, stirring until the dough starts to come away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Form dough into small balls and place 2-inches apart on a baking sheet. Dip a fork into flour and press dough balls with fork to flatten.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

I'm not a baker, but these cookies were so easy to make. I'm definitely going to make them again.

These cookies are the perfect afternoon snack. They're sweet, but not too sweet, and they're filling.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies came out flat and hard. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I used sunflower seed butter instead. The cookies turned out great!

I've made these cookies several times and they're always a hit. I like to add a little bit of chocolate chips to the batter.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit more butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of amaranth, but these cookies were surprisingly good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice chewy texture.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover amaranth. They're also a good source of protein and fiber.

These cookies were delicious! I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and they turned out great. They were soft and chewy, and the amaranth added a nice nutty flavor.
