    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 ℉/ 190 ℃. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the egg, butter, vanilla extract, and syrup in a small bowl and mix everything until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the spices and baking powder. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, then stir until everything is well combined.
  5. Scoop about a tablespoon of dough. Drop on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Repeat with the rest of the cookie dough. Ensure that the cookies are spaced well apart from one another.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly colored and firm at the top.
  8. Let the cookies cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  9. Store in a brown bag or tin cookie box for a few days, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Helpful baking Tips:
  • Chocolate: if you like yours to be puddled with chocolate, then go for it and add more chocolate chips than the recipe recommends.

  • Cookie size: You can get 15 to 17 cookies from a batch if you make them spoon-full-sized. Or make 9 stupendously oversized buckwheat chocolate chip cookies. From experience, you won't hear anyone complain, just fewer cookies to go around.

  • Cool down the buckwheat cookies: It's a very important step. You gotta cool them down because otherwise, none of the warm, spiced flavors come through when you bite into that irresistible but still warm, crumbly treat. It's like all the flavors still have to set in, and, trust me, it's worth the extra 10 minutes of wait.

  • Equipment: You don't need any fancy equipment or an electric mixer. I usually mix everything together by hand with a whisk, a wooden spoon, and a bowl.
