Change the grains in your favourite chocolate chip cookies by using a mix of white spelt flour and oat flour instead of the traditional all-purpose flour. These cookies are slightly chewy with a nice firmness. To jazz up those plain cookies and to use up all the holiday leftovers, I have used some melted white chocolate and sprinkles for the topping. Enjoy them with a glass of milk.

- Preheat oven to 180C/350C/. Line two oven trays with baking paper.
- Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl until creamy and pale in colour. Add the spelt flour, oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda and stir to combine.
- Roll tablespoonsful of mixture into balls and place on the prepared trays, leaving 3-cm between each cookie. Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until firm to the touch, swapping trays halfway through cooking. Remove from oven and set aside on trays to cool completely. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
- Cut the white chocolate couverture into smaller pieces and place in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir frequently with rubber spatula until fully melted.
- Spread white chocolate icing over each cookie and sprinkle with sprinkles. Set aside for 30 minutes to set.

They look pretty jazzy to me. Just right for the Carnival! That white chocolate...yummy :) ela
Wow super tempting
These cookies look great! I think they would be gone very fast with tea :)
The cookies look awesome and so colorful. I need to use more spelt in baking. You have so many great recipes using that grain. Lovely Angie. Pinning ofcourse.
Pretty and divine looking! A great combination of flours.
Cheers,
Rosa
I also love the combo of light spelt flour with oat flour, Angie! Your festive cookies look so wonderful & I love how you iced them & decorated them too! Another must make!
I also made your spelt challah yesterday & loved it so much! My husband Peter agreed with me! xxx
Yummy! These spelt cookies look so pretty and I bet are very delicious too!
This past year I like to add some whole grain flour to any cookie or cake recipe that allows it. These are so cute Angie! Great for a kids party
I like to play with oat flour :)
I know two little people who would love a batch of these :-) great recipe. All the best for 2014 Angie.
Cookies!!! I'm sure my kids will love this :). Thanks for sharing!! Btw are you a personal chef in austin?
Fallen in love with these festive looking cookies...so pretty and who could ever refuse chocolate ;-)
How fun to use different flours and chewy is the way I prefer my cookies. These are beautiful Angie.

These cookies spell fun, they are bright and cheery!
This is one of my very favorite dishes.
Cute idea, Angie. I don't know why I don't mix my flours....you have talked me into it!
Although I am done with cookies until next Christmas, these look cute and tempting :)
I love to bake with a different flours, so many of them these days-) Your cookies look outstanding!
What a feast of colours Angie! And what a lovely texture they must have with the spelt flour. It is ideal for children's (and adults of course!) parties.
I should feel less guilty even I eat more of these.
What a great idea Angie, you really are an accomplished baker! I wonder, do the cookies have a crackle finish on top? That crackle finish is really popular right now and a super chocolatey cookie would be perfect!

Trading out the flour in cookies is such a good idea - I bet the kids would never know! And, hello, how cute are these? Sprinkles makes everything better!

Those look delicious Angie. I do like a good chewy oat cookie. I've not come across oat flour though, so that's interesting. Will have to look out for it.
