Rolled Spelt Cookies


Those cookies, crispy and chewy, are loaded with spelt flakes, wheat germ, chopped nuts, chocolate and dried fruit. They are so freaking good. Rolled spelt flakes offer an excellent source of dietary fiber, protein, vitamin B1 and niacin. They are a delicious and healthy alternative to rolled oats in baked goods, homemade muesli, or even in salads!
Recipe adapted from Better Home Garden

  • 50 g Butter, softened
  • 80 g Brown sugar
  • 70 g Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon

  2. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in flour. Stir in rolled oats, wheat germ, chocolate, cranberries, and walnuts. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto baking trays lined with parchment paper.

Spelt has become such a popular ingredient, and these beautiful cookies make me want to use spelt (and chocolate and cranberries!) immediately.
