Dark Chocolate Chunk Spelt Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks or coarsely chopped chocolate bar
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped
- 1 large egg
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together with a wooden spoon just until flour is almost, but not fully incorporated. Stir in chocolate chunks, hazelnuts, and cherries and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Use a small scoop or 2 tablespoons to form dough into 1 1/2-inch mounds. Arrange cookies on prepared sheets, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each cookie. Use palm of hand to flatten each mound slightly. Sprinkle each cookie with a bit of flaky salt.
- Bake cookies 10-12 minutes, rotating pans for even browning. Allow cookies to cool slightly on pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
