Kernza® Chocolate Chip Cookies

Directions

1. Mix Kernza Flour (2 cups), baking powder (1 tsp), and salt (1 tsp) in a bowl until thoroughly uniform. Set aside.
2. Heat butter (two sticks) in a small saucepan until it is slightly browned and bubbling. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 2 minutes.
3. Put white and light brown sugar (3/4 cup each) and vanilla extract (1 tsp) in a large mixing bowl.
4. Pour melted butter over sugar mixture and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until most of the sugar has broken up.
5. Add egg (1) to sugar-butter mixture and continue to stir with a wooden spoon until the texture is uniform.
6. Add 1/2 cup of dry flour mixture to liquid sugar-butter mixture and stir until it has a uniform consistency. Repeat until all of the dry flour mixture is incorporated into cookie dough mixture. The mixture should be a bit runny.
7. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
8. Add chocolate chips and steel cut oats to the dough mixture and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
9. Place dough in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
10. Set oven to 375 F/190 C. Form dough into 1.5 inch/4 cm balls using hands or a spoon and place on buttered baking sheets at least 3 inches/8 cm apart. The dough should yield about 20 cookies.
11. Place baking trays on the middle rack of the oven for at least 10 minutes. Cookies are done when their edges are crisp but the center of the cookies are still moving with heat.
12. Remove from oven and sprinkle pinches of kosher salt on hot cookies. Let the them rest for at least 20 minutes. Enjoy!
