Chocolate Chip Spelt Cookies

Vegetarian Times Issue: November 1, 2006   p.80

The ingredient list for this recipe looked so simple, no one at VT was prepared for how delicious these cookies turned out. Peanut butter and maple syrup hold the cookies together and help keep them dense and moist.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper. Spoon peanut butter into microwave-safe bowl, and heat on high power 30 to 45 seconds, or until melted, stirring once or twice.
  2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Stir in peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla until blended. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Drop 2 Tbs. dough for each cookie onto prepared baking sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

The cookies weren't moist at all (not so much a problem) and much too sweet

Not too sweet for me! Try adding more maple and less flour? I make these all the time, love how quick I can mix em up and pop them in the oven!

i find undercooking them makes them a little richer and less dry (especially since this batter can be eaten raw). if not, taking a moistened paper towel and wrapping the cookies, then microwaving for 20 seconds turns each dry cookie into a hot, almost fresh baked cookie.

Fantastic! I did need to reduce the sweetener by 1/2 cup, but loved these cookies.

I made my own low-glycemic version of this recipe for diabetics and people with high blood sugar and they turned out great! Instead of the maple, I used 1/2 cup agave nectar. Also, I only put in 1/2 cup chocolate chips instead of 1 1/2.

If they're not moist at all, you might be overcooking them. The first time I made them they were nice and moist and the second time I accidently cooked them longer and they were cruchier. Try just cooking them at a lower temp or for less time. These were great for me!
