These einkorn chocolate chip cookies bars are the perfect dessert to bring to a summer potluck. This is our favorite chocolate chip cookie batter recipe. Instead of making individual cookies, we spread the batter in a greased 9 x13 pan. These require less baking time than several batches of cookies, so the house doesn’t heat up too much. I actually prefer chocolate chip cookie bars since they’re so soft and gooey on the inside!
Why You’ll Love Einkorn Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Simple and Easy Recipe – These chocolate chip cookie bars are so easy to whip together quickly!
Flavor – Einkorn flour gives these chocolate chip cookie bars a slight, nutty taste which pairs well with the chocolate chips.
Nutrition – Fresh milled einkorn flour is full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. People that are sensitive to gluten can often eat einkorn with no issues. Einkorn’s protein structure is different than modern wheat which makes it easier for your body to digest.

- Organic brown sugar – I also buy this in bulk from Costco.
- Eggs – Hold the batter together. You can substitute Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer if needed.

How to Make Einkorn Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Step 1: Mill einkorn berries in an electric mill.
Step 2: Add einkorn flour to a stainless steel mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, baking soda, salt and unflavored protein powder (optional).
Step 3: Mix together melted butter, white and brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
Step 4: Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, a little at a time. Mix until just combined. Einkorn flour will become dense and glue-like if overmixed.
Step 5: Fold in chocolate chips with a spoon or silicone spatula.
Step 6: Grease a 9 x 13 pan or line with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7: Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until done.

FAQS
I don’t have einkorn flour. Can I still make these chocolate chip cookie bars?
Of course! You can substitute all-purpose flour or fresh milled soft white wheat flour. Simply use 3 cups of flour for these options.
Can I make these chocolate chip cookie bars ahead of time?
Of course you can! If making more than a day in advance, I would advise sticking them in the freezer to retain freshness.
One of my family members has an egg allergy, can I substitute the egg for something else?
Yes! My husband has an egg white allergy, so I use Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer in all my baking. Cookies are very forgiving, so you could also use a flax egg or different egg substitute
One of my family members can’t have dairy, can I substitute with dairy-free butter and milk?
Yes, you can substitute the butter with any dairy-free butter or olive oil. Any dairy-free milk will work in place of the milk. I have tried coconut milk before, and it gave it more of a nutty flavor. But the bars were still delicious!
