Homemade peanut butter cookies with freshly milled flour will be the only way you’ll want to make them. Using freshly milled kamut flour in your peanut butter cookie recipe takes the flavor (and crunch) to the next level. These classic cookies are packed with peanut butter and pair perfectly with a glass of cold milk.

While freshly milled flour has numerous health benefits it also brings a lot of variety and flavour to the table. Kamut or Khorasan grains are golden in color and taste. Freshly milled (or store-bought) kamut flour has a nutty buttery flavor and pairs perfectly with peanut butter!

Do I need a grain mill?

No! You can use any type flour for this recipe. Although grain mills are ideal, I know they are not accessible to everyone. Kamut has become increasingly popular over the past few years and is on most store shelves in the organic section. Almost all of my recipes are interchangeable with white all-purpose flour incase no whole grains are available to you.

Can I only use Kamut?

For the best results, I recommend using freshly milled kamut or kamut flour. If kamut/Khorasan berries are not available you can swap them out for spelt, hard white wheat or soft white wheat. You will get a different flavor and result when using different wheat berries.

Do I need a stand mixer? You will want a stand mixer * or hand-held mixer * to cream the sugar and butter together. You can do this by hand but you’ll have some very sore arms if you do!

What you need to make Fresh Milled Peanut Butter Cookies

Freshly milled Kamut flour- This is the base of your cookie.

Butter- You can use unsalted or salted but make sure it is softened to room temperature.

Baking soda + powder- This give your cookie rising power!

Brown Sugar- Brown sugar helps soften the cookie and sweeten it.

White Sugar- For rolling the cookie dough balls in. This gives our cookie some sparkle as well!

Egg- To bind ingredients.

Vanilla- Pure vanilla extract helps balance the flavors of your cookie.

Creamy Peanut Butter: I recommend using Kraft or Jif creamy peanut butter. I don’t recommend natural peanut butter because it is drier and the texture tends to be inconsistent.

Salt- Just a dash to level out the sweetness!

How to Make The Best Fesh Milled Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

The first thing you want to do is measure out your kamut berries. About 1.5 cups of kamut grains will be enough. Turn on your grain mill and grind them on the finest setting. Measure out your flour and add to a large bowl. Next add in the rest of your dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Set aside.

In your mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add your egg, peanutbutter and vanilla until combined.

Add you dry ingredients slowly to the mixing bowl and on low speed and mix until combined.
