Ingredients for Buckwheat Cookies
- 1 3/4 cups buckwheat flour
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 5 tbsp butter (soft)
- 2.5 oz dark chocolate
- 1/2 sachet baking powder (8 grams)
- as needed powdered sugar (for decoration)
How to Make Buckwheat and Chocolate Cookies
Lightly whisk an egg with the sugar in a bowl. You can just use a fork.
Add the softened butter in small cubes and mix it into the batter with the fork.
Add the buckwheat flour and half a sachet of baking powder. Mix.
Lastly, add the dark chocolate in small pieces and mix first with the fork and then with your hand. You should get a soft but not sticky dough.
Take a small portion of dough and roll it between your hands to form cookies. I made slightly flattened balls.
Arrange the cookies slightly apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper as you prepare them. I ended up with 20 cookies, but it depends on how big you make them.
Bake the Gluten-Free Cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F for 12-14 minutes.
Let them cool because they are very crumbly when hot and place them on a tray. You can sprinkle them with some powdered sugar if you like.
See you tomorrow with a new recipe, hugs, Loredana

The Cookies stay soft in a container for 2-3 days
If you prefer, you can replace the dark chocolate with 70 grams of chocolate chips
For lactose-free cookies, you can replace the butter with 70 ml of seed or olive oil
You can replace white sugar with the same amount of brown sugar
