- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions

- 2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- 3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together einkorn flour, baking soda, and salt.
- 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- 6. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Notes
- Einkorn flour absorbs liquids differently than modern wheat; avoid overmixing for the best texture.
- For a deeper flavor, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Add a sprinkle of flaky salt before baking for a gourmet touch.
