Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended and there are no lumps.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue to mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should come together nicely.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious double chocolate chip cookies made with spelt flour, either warm or at room temperature!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature for a smoother batter. This helps in achieving that light and fluffy texture in your cookies.
- Don't Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tougher cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: If you have the time, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake. They should look set around the edges but still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to add nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost!
- Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer-lasting enjoyment.
