Red Fife and Pumpkin Seed Cookies

Chef Grunert shares another inventive cookie recipe that utilizes interesting ingredients, such as red fife flour, a hard wheat grain that imparts a nutty flavor. Buttery, lemony, and sweet, these cookies are easy to prepare. Makes about 80 small cookies.

Ingredients

80 small cookies

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups Anson Mills red fife flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
Grated zest of 1 lemon
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
Confectioners' sugar for sprinkling
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line four half-sheet pans with parchment paper.

    Step 2

    结合通用面粉,红色横笛面粉,贝克ing powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest in a medium bowl, and set aside.

    Step 3

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar. Combine the eggs with the vanilla and add slowly to the creamed batter. With a silicone spatula, fold in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.

    Step 4

    Using a tablespoon-size ice-cream scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared pans, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart. (They are very buttery and will run if placed too closely together.) Press the pumpkin seeds onto the cookies. Bake for 5 minutes. Turn the pans in the oven and bake for 5 more minutes. Cool completely on wire racks. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top of the cooled cookies.
