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!

Oh yum! Think I will give this recipe a try, but maybe with rolled oats...since spelt is relatively less accessible and more $$, heehee. :D Thanks Angie. ;)
These look awesome, Angie! I was just thinking of making some cookies with my rolled spelt...what perfect timing :D
Wow, wonderful cookies. There is an on going event on Lite Bite hosted by Heather. She opted spelt, and since we don't have access to spelt, have never seen or baked with it. Happy to see this lovely creation, Angie.
these are really good to look at and even greater to eat them! wish i could just have a bite of these yummy looking cookies!
These cookies sound so freaking GOOD! yUM!!! =)
perfect cookies..very tempting..
I could only get spelt flour here, not rolled spelt.
Too bad I can't try to make these.
They look great. I was just looking at a bag of spelt yesterday but didn't have any idea what I'd use it for so I put it back on the shelf! Now I know what to do.
Another spelt recipe! We need to get some flakes or flour and try it out.
@Three-CookiesDinkel is the German term for spelt.
Wow I love trying out new grains and these do look so darn tasty!

Enticing me! How about with soy milk, just a wild thought : ).
Incredible! Crispy crunchy cookies......send me the whole lot!
Yikes. I wanna make this.. but.. i don't have rolled spelt. Can i replace it with rolled oat instead? Kiddos have dinosaur appetite these days. Looking for more food to feed them for snack! :P
Food that's healthy and delicious can't be beat!
These cookies look so delicious. Although I seldom bake cookies, I have to bake some for snacks in these winter days, perfectly go with a cup of hot tea.
These cookies are good to snack on and they look so incredibly delicious!
I have not got the chance to experiment with spelt of any kind yet...but these cookies of yours do look very good!
wonderful recipe! Cannot wait to try it! I'm just loving the craze right now for whole grains.
Delicious cookies! I love chocolate and cherries together and I think I even have some spelt flour. They sound so healthy I think they could be great to eat anytime!
I don't think I've ever come across rolled spelt before which is a shame! If I do, I'll certainly be making these!
These cookies look great. I bet the spelt adds lots of flavor and texture...
I love a cookie with healthy ingredients! I want one for an afternoon snack.
I've been wanting to use more spelt! Thanks for sharing! :D
This is so lovely - those are cookies that would not last long in my house! I would be fighting with my husband for the crumbs.
How gorgeous! These look fantastic! I could do with one with my coffee right now.
Dark chocolate, dried cranberries, and walnuts... I'M IN!! I'd love to have a few of those. :)

Yes..rolled oats are perfect for the recipe too.
Love these cookies. They sound healthy, never thought I could say a cookie is healthy :)
Thanks for sharing Angie :)
I bet my daughter would love it if I made her these cookies, I love the ingredient list!
Love the idea of using spelt...now if I could just learn to bake cookies :)
These look great!
Oooh! Cranberries and Spelt flour!? Yes please!
Great pictures, especially like the one in the cake tin lid. Not come across rolled spelt before, will have to look out for it. Mostly use spelt flour in my baking though.
