Ingredients
- ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt coarse, not fine
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup butter softened but not melty, salted
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 egg large
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup quinoa cooked and cooled to room temp
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips or dried berries, nuts, etc.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and honey until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes on medium-high. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until pale and fluffy, about 2 more minutes. Slowly beat in flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until dry and wet ingredients are incorporated.
- Using a wooden spatula, stir in cooked quinoa, oats, and chocolate chips just until combined. Cover and chill 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll dough into 1 TB rounded balls. Place onto prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Slightly press down on each ball to flatten just a bit.
- Bake about 8-10 minutes or until golden and puffed, yet soft. Cookies might seem a bit underbaked, but they will set upon cooling. After a few minutes, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Cooled cookies may be wrapped airtight and frozen for 2-3 weeks. Be sure the 1 cup of quinoa is already cooked, not raw. Follow package instructions for cooking.
