If you love soft, chewy cookies with a little wholesome twist, these cookies are it, baby! The einkorn flour keeps them tender, the pecans add that perfect crunch, and of course…the chocolate chips seal the deal.

How to Bake These Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light, about 1 minute. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
3. Add in baking soda, salt, cornstarch and all purpose einkorn flour and mix again, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed.
4. Add in chocolate chips and chopped pecans and mix well. Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop out 12 equal balls of cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
5. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on the top, about 12-15 minutes. Bake time will vary depending on your oven and the size of your cookies.
6. Lay baked cookies on a cooling rack to cool to room temperature (or don’t… warm cookies are absolutely delicious)
7. Enjoy!

Notes

I always like to slightly underbake my cookies in order to obtain a chewier texture. They will continue to cook briefly on the cookie sheet once they are pulled out of the oven.

Don't skip out on the additions of the egg yolk and cornstarch. They help to make a much softer, chewier cookie!

I recommend using cookie scoops so that all the cookies are uniform in size. I have linked the ones I like down below. I typically use a medium size scoop for cookies!

I pretty much use salted butter exclusively, but you can absolutely substitute unsalted butter if you prefer.

How to Freeze Cookie Dough: Scoop out balls of dough and add them to a gallon sized freezer bag, making sure I store the bag laying flat in the freezer. Once you are ready to bake, you can pop the cookies straight from the freezer into the oven, or set out on the counter to thaw beforehand. If you are putting them straight in the oven from the freezer, you may need to adjust your baking time to allow them extra time to bake.
