Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies

Spelt Cookies

Spelt

Spelt makes great flour for chocolate chip cookies, I have adjusted a recipe from Nature’s Legacy blog. I hate messing around with separating egg yokes and whites so we went with 2 whole large eggs. I also think chocolate chip cookies taste great with fresh ground spelt flour and doesn’t need to be white spelt flour. Added a little baking powder and the cookies came out great.

I have tried many whole grain cookie recipes in the past year but I believe that these have been the best I have made yet. I just love to make and share whole grain chocolate chip cookies with others, if I don’t share them I always eat to many of them because they are so good. OK, I still eat to many of them even when I share.

My WonderMill grain millSpelt is an ancient grain with superior nutrition when compared to regular whole wheat. It is also lower in gluten and easier on the stomach. I grind my spelt on the pastry setting most of the time, like for cookies.

Enjoy the recipe below, you won’t believe they are whole grain.
