Spelt flour cookies
Description
Homemade tea-time baking. Spelt flour cookies are every bit as good as those made with familiar highest-grade flour. In my view, they are also healthier, because spelt—and especially whole-grain spelt—offers many beneficial properties. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. Using chocolate and sprinkles or not is up to you, so treat this recipe as a base. Serve with tea or coffee.
