How to make walnut spelt chocolate chip cookies

Making these chocolate chip cookies is so easy and quick. You don't even need an electric mixer as we use melted butter in this recipe.

  1. First prepare walnuts by lightly toasting them and chocolate by chopping it on a cutting board into smaller pieces. Set both aside.

  2. Combine spelt flour with baking soda and salt in one bowl. 

  3. Melt butter on a low heat then transfer to a heatproof bowl. Add muscovado sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract and whisk until combined (this sturdy wire whisk with wood handle will do the job). Next, gradually fold in flour, chopped chocolate and walnuts. 

  4. Shaping cookies is so easy. Scoop the dough of the size of walnut and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet, apart and flatten slightly. Bake for about 8-9 minutes and your cookies are done. From this dough we got 24 cookies.

Take the cookies from the oven while still slightly underbaked, as they will continue to bake on the baking sheet. This way they are going to have a great texture once cool.

If freezing the dough, portion it out into balls first, freeze, then place in plastic freezer bag and return to the freezer.
