Buckwheat Flour Cookies

Buckwheat flour or soba flour, the same stuff used for soba noodles, has a unique taste & texture different from regular flour. Got inspired by the soba cookies I had in Japan. These aren't too sweet and don't use that much butter, so I guess you could say they're on the healthier side. You can mix in black sesame seeds for a bit of color or other mix-ins you might enjoy. Makes 8-10 small cookies.

8 servings
  1. 75 gramsBuckwheat flour
  2. 50 gramsRegular flour
  3. 40 gramsSugar (2.5 Tbsp)
  4. 1/2 teaspoonBaking powder
  5. 1 pinchSalt
  6. 45 gramsButter or oil (3 Tbsp)

Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Ingredients! You can use any kind of milk, soy milk, etc. for the liquid. I prefer butter but you can use oil. I used natural cane sugar but any kind of sugar will do. Experiment!

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F

  3. 3

    Mix dry ingredients - the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder - in a bowl. You can add your optional sesame seeds or other mix-ins here if using.

  4. 4

    Soften butter and mix with milk and vanilla.

  5. 5

    Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients and mix until dough comes together.

  6. 6

    Dust a cutting board and your hands with flour and form dough into a round 'log.'

  7. 7

    Cut the dough into 8-10 even sized slices.

  8. 8

    Form each piece into a round cookie, about as thick as your pinky. Dust with a little flour if it's sticking to your hands.

  9. 9

    Lay out cookies on a cookie sheet or lightly greased baking pan.

  10. 10

    Bake for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool (I feel like the texture and soba flavor is better after completely cool). These keep well for a couple of days wrapped in plastic wrap, if you don't eat them all first.

Thanks for this recipe! I wanna try, but I don't have buckwheat floor. Can it still work?
