Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, plus more for studding the surface of the cookies before they bake (optional)

Instruction

  • preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together for several minutes until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to get everything evenly incorporated.
  • Add in the vanilla and egg, beat well. Scrape down the bowl again.
  • Whisk the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch together, then blend into the wet ingredients until there is no dry flour left.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Drop by medium sized scoops onto your prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Gently flatten out the tops with an offset spatula. Just press down lightly. Press in a few extra chips into the surface of your cookies, if desired.
  • Bake for about 11 minutes. The cookies will appear slightly underdone. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
