BASIC VEGAN SPELT COOKIES - CHOCOLATE/CAROB CHIP

Basic Vegan Spelt Cookies - Chocolate/Carob Chip image

I wanted to make some basic chocolate chip cookies for my kids (vegan & spelt) and found this recipe on http://www.vegfamily.com/vegan-recipes/desserts/spelt-carob-cookies.htm. It goes together really quickly and easily and only has 8 ingredients. I used a light spelt flour, which I think is most suitable for this recipe. They're a little cake-like, as with most vegan cookies...I prefer them this way. Note that the recipe only makes 12 cookies - you could make 24 small ones, but I like the larger size. Use carob or vegan chocolate chips, and I'm sure you could add some nuts and seeds if you choose. Hope you enjoy!

Overmixing will make the cookies tough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape. - Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cookies will be soft and gooey, while overbaked cookies will be hard and dry. - Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help prevent them from breaking. - Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
