Rye cookies

Cookinero 20 Mar 2025

Cookies that you won't feel guilty about, even if you're on a diet. Rye flour has less gluten than wheat flour, so the baked goods aren't as fluffy and perhaps not as golden brown. But it has 3 times more fiber, proteins, vitamins, and minerals than wheat! This is a serious argument for making crispy homemade cookies from it. We added honey and cinnamon to the recipe to make it even more aromatic and delicious!

Rye cookies - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or even brown rice syrup for a similar texture and sweetness. Adjust the quantity to taste, as some sweeteners are sweeter than honey.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
You can substitute the rye flour with a gluten-free flour blend, but note that the texture may differ slightly. Add xanthan gum (1/4 tsp per cup of flour) to help bind the dough.
Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour, and chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling to minimize sticking.
Yes! Freeze unbaked dough (wrapped tightly) for up to 3 months. Baked cookies can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months—thaw at room temperature before serving.
Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) and use a plant-based sweetener like agave instead of honey for a vegan version.
These cookies pair well with a light drizzle of icing, a sprinkle of sea salt, or even a dollop of nut butter. Enjoy them with coffee, tea, or hot cocoa.
Yes! For crispier cookies, roll the dough thinner (3-4 mm) and bake slightly longer. For softer cookies, roll thicker (6-7 mm) and reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes.
