These spelt flour cookies are soft, slightly chewy, and naturally sweetened with honey and coconut sugar—making them a great alternative to traditional refined sugar cookies. Spelt flour gives them a hearty, nutty flavor, while coconut oil keeps them perfectly tender.
What You'll Need
1 ½ cups spelt flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
⅓ cup coconut sugar ¼ cup raw honey
¼ cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water) or 1 regular egg
optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or dried fruit
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together spelt flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon.
Step 3
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut sugar, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and flax egg (or regular egg) until smooth.
Step 4
Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. If adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit, fold them in now.
Step 5
Scoop & Shape: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small dough balls (about 1 ½ tablespoons each) and place them on the lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The cookies may look soft in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
Step 7
Cool & Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Pro Tip: For extra chewiness, let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. This helps develop the flavors and improves texture!
