Time 1h10m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups water
½ cup amaranth
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine water and amaranth together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until water is absorbed and amaranth grains are fluffy, about 20 minutes. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat cooked amaranth and peanut butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in sugar until completely dissolved. Add butter to amaranth mixture and mix; stir in egg until smooth.
  • Whisk all-purpose flour, pastry flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to amaranth mixture, stirring until the dough starts to come away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Form dough into small balls and place 2-inches apart on a baking sheet. Dip a fork into flour and press dough balls with fork to flatten.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
