Elevate your baking game with these unique Rye, Blueberry, and Chocolate Chunk Cookies! In this episode, Glen explores how swapping traditional all-purpose flour for rye flour can add a deep, nutty complexity to a classic cookie base. We’re pairing that earthy rye flavour with the sweetness of dried blueberries and rich chocolate chunks for a cookie that’s buttery, chewy, and anything but basic.
Glen shares his favourite tips for working with alternative flours and explains why skipping the vanilla this time allows the natural grains to shine. Plus, stick around for a kitchen update on Glen's upcoming flying adventures and a quest for the perfect Canadian chocolate.
In this video, you’ll learn:
How rye flour changes the texture and flavour profile of homemade cookies.
The benefits of using dried blueberries vs. fresh or frozen in baking.
Why a higher oven temperature (400°F) can give your cookies a perfect quick bake.
