Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies
These spelt chocolate chip cookies are easy to make with a bowl and a spoon and require no chilling before baking. They're made with 100% ancient spelt flour and turn out chewy, buttery, and filled with melty chocolate chips.
Servings 22 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (g) unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup (g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) spelt flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (56 g) chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (do not grease your baking sheet, this causes the cookies to spread more). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir to combine. Add egg and vanilla extract and stir until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the spelt flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips and walnuts and stir until just combined.
- Divide dough into 22 balls (1.5 tablespoons each) and place 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until lightly browned and set across the tops.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Mix-in variations: Substitute some or all of the chocolate chips and walnuts with your favorite mix-ins like butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, or chopped pecans.
- Cookie storage: Cookies will keep for 5-7 days in a sealed container. To help keep cookies fresh, place a slice of bread in the container with the cookies. Replace the bread slice as needed.
- Freezing: Cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw on the countertop for 1 hour to bring to room temperature.
