Fall has us craving the comfort of old-fashioned oatmeal cookies. These oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies made with Jovial Foods einkorn flour bring back childhood memories, but with an ancient-grain twist that’s worth learning about. Einkorn wheat was planted by farmers 12,000 years ago during the Neolithic Revolution, but then it moved toward extinction during the Bronze Age. In 2007, the founders of Jovial rediscovered einkorn through a group of researchers in Italy. The grain is untouched by time, has never been hybridized, and is now the oldest and purest food in existence today. It has a much higher protein content than modern wheat, along with less starch and a higher concentration of minerals and flavor. Its weak gluten makes it easier to digest. And, in fact, it lacks the gluten proteins that trigger symptoms of gluten sensitivity.
This outstanding recipe incorporates this amazing ancient grain into our favorite childhood cookie for a soft, pillowy and even tastier treat. These einkorn oatmeal cookies – loaded with chocolate chips, raisins, macadamia nuts and shredded coconut – are sure to become a family favorite in your home, too.
