QUINOA COOKIES



Quinoa Cookies image

I bake with my three-year-old at least once a week. We have tried a plethora of different cookies with different fruits and bases. This one was a hit! My three-year-old and older child both loved these, and I did too! They are super simple to make and sneak fiber, protein, and other nutrients into dessert! I used one cookie sheet for nine cookies, three rows of three fit well.

Yield about 26 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cooking spray or vegetable oil, if needed
1 cup (4 ounces/120 grams) confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (4 ounces/120 grams) packed dark brown sugar
8 tablespoons (4 ounces/120 grams) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (10 ounces/300 grams) creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces/180 grams) quinoa flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (5 ounces/165 grams) strawberry jam or grape jelly

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, lightly coat it with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
  • 2. With an electric mixer, beat together the confectioners' sugar, dark brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the vanilla.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture a small amount at a time.
  • 4. Using a 1-tablespoon/15-milliliter measuring spoon or equal capacity ice cream scooper, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, placing each cookie about 1 1/2 inches/4 centimeters apart. Roll the dough between your palms and make a dip with your thumb in each. Fill each dip with 1/2 teaspoon jam or jelly.
  • 5. Bake the cookies until light golden, about 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking time. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving.
