Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 300 grams freshly milled soft white wheat (or 2 cups of all-purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups quick oats

Equipment

  • grain mill

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugars, butter, and eggs. Mix/cream for 4-5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir together the freshly milled soft white wheat, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually stir in the flour mixture by hand. Don't over-mix.
  4. Stir in the quick oats by hand until just combined.
  5. Cover the bowl of dough with foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Or, form the dough into a log type shape in wax paper and then refrigerate.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°.
  7. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop the dough out by spoonfuls onto the prepared pan. Leave 1-2 inches between them to give them room to expand while baking. If you rolled the dough into a log-shape, cut in into the size of cookies that you want.
  9. Bake for 8 minutes.
  10. Take out the cookies and let them sit on the baking sheet for 4 minutes. They will continue to cook as they sit on the hot pan.
  11. You can refrigerate any extra cookie dough for 3-4 days and just make a few each day or whenever you want some.
