Black Forest Cookies
2 cups (240 g) light spelt flour
1/4 cup (20 g) Dutch-process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup (96 g) raw sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons (110 ml) canola oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cherry extract, or more vanilla
3 tablespoons (45 ml) Kirsch
18 maraschino cherries, chopped
1/3 cup (58 g) nondairy semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, such as Silpat.
In a large bowl, sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in sugar.
In a medium bowl, combine oil, vinegar, maple syrup, extracts, and Kirsch.
Fold wet ingredients into dry. Incorporate cherries and chocolate chips with your hands.
Divide dough into 20 equal portions. Flatten the cookies almost as much as you want them, as they don’t spread much while baking.
Bake for 12 minutes. Wait a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Yield: 20 cookies
