These delicate buttery wholegrain cookies, made with ground green spelt berries, black quinoa, butter and egg, sweetened with pure stevia extract, are delicious plain, dipped in dark chocolate, or sandwiched with flavoured cream.
Freekeh (also known as Grünkern in Germany) is roasted green spelt berries. The spelt is harvested when it is still young and green. It is then slow roasted over coals in the hulls, and is then de-hulled resulting in a beautiful green spelt berry.

- Combine together the ground green spelt, black quinoa, stevia extract powder and pinch of salt. Add in cubed butter and rub into flour until mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then, using your hands, add in egg to bring it together.
- With your hands, flatten out the ball of dough until it is about 2cm thick, then wrap it in cling film and leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Roll out the dough between two parchment sheets until about 3 mm thick. Cut out cookies with cookie cutters and place on a baking tray lined with parchment. Bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool on the tray for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Angie, I'm always looking for a crisp little not-too-sweet cookie to have with tea, and these look lovely!

This thin cookies look great, and yes, they are healthy too...very creative.
Hope you are having a colorful week Angie :D
That's a beautiful cookie Angie. It looks wonderfully flaky and flavorful. Great recipe!
Freekeh is my favorite grain, I like it savory or sweet. It's an amazing grain, low in calories and keeps you feeling full for long time. I never had it in cookies, but I have some in hand, and after seeing your clicks I think I'm going to make some freekeh cookies soon, I'm so curious right now :)
These cookies are so pretty! I love all the wholesome ingredients you always use - what a great and healthy idea to use freekeh and black quinoa - so creative!

Hi Angie, These cookies look pretty and delicious! Thanks for sharing :)
Don't they look cute and as always can't help admiring your clicks, Angie!
Interesting, I had never heard of freekah before, but now I see that I can get it on Amazon either as is or ground into flour. These cookies look healthy and delicious. Thanks for expanding my culinary horizons!
What a wonderful idea, these cookies are so beautiful and I bet taste amazing, I love using quinoa in recipes and this one is definitely being added to that list.

Waw, Angie! very special cookies! Now, I can use some of my 200 cookie cutters again,...Now, with what shape shall I begin? MMMMM! x

This really is a smart way to enjoy a classic butter cookie. They look so cute but I imagine a very nice sophisticated taste and flavor to them.
I have a packet of freekeh in my fridge. I was wondering what to do with it other than make it into a salad. Thanks for another idea!
Pretty and unusual!
Delicious healthy cookies
What utterly gorgeous looking cookies, Angie. I've been on the lookout for freekeh for ages, as I have a whole raft of dishes I want to try, but have never been lucky enough to find it here. I will definitely be adding these to the list, for that day when I finally find some :-)
These look lovely, I have a tub of Freekah in the cupboard, these seeme a perfect opportunity to use it. GG
The idea of dipping them in chocolate is wonderful Angie! A great twist on cookies!
Tasty and such a wonderfull luscious health booster!!!
Such pretty cookies - and so healthy!
How do you come up with these creative cookie recipes? Looks like a healthy AND delicious cookie!
These cookies are so different and creative. I've never used freekeh before but can't wait to try it.
These looks sound healthy and I would love them for a treat. I love your presentation.
I always love that flower shape cookie cutter. And i love freekeh. Hence-I will love this cookie!
Wow! Every time I come over for a visit Angie, you introduce me to another yummy and healthy ingredient. These look amazing. Love the way you stacked them up for the photos.
Freekeh and quinoa must be good friends. I bought a "rice-mix" recently that combine both of them in a single package. Your bakes are always so nutritious and power-packed.
Cookies made with spelt flour sounds really interesting and the shape of flower makes it more pretty. Love the way you come up with these unique recipes every time!!!
There's not many cookies you can feel good about eating like this one! They 're so pretty! I'll put on a pot of tea if you bring some over. :-)
What a beautiful cookie Angie, love the way the quinoa dots the cookie and the flower shape. Will be looking for freekeh here, I believe I can find it in some stores in the bulk section. Thanks for a great little cookie recipe!
I'm trying to convince my family to eat more quinoa and these look great! I love that you used quinoa in cookies :)
I recently enjoy quinoa and this really attracts me!
can change the green spelt berries flour to other kind?
Thks Angie for all the inspirations! :)
Hi!, I always learn something new from you, these look very delicious curious about the taste :)
The more I learn about quinoa, the more versatile, I find it is and this certainly is a new way to use it.
Friday I heard about Freekeh for the first time. And here you are making cookies from the stuff! Impressive!
