All that and a bag of chips. Except, you know, without the chips.
Is there anything a chocolate chip cookie can’t do? I didn’t think so.
I decided I needed to make these Vegetarian Times’ Chocolate Chip Spelt Cookies again, and thought I might as well post the downsized recipe here, for 2 big cookies (think store-bought size).
preheat oven to 375F. prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat. I actually used the toaster oven again and didn’t even coat the sheet with anything, it worked out fine.
3 T crunchy natural peanut butter
3 T pure maple syrup
1/4 t pure vanilla extractwhisk all these ingredients in a medium bowl.
1/4 cup + 1/2 T light spelt flour (spoon and level for the cup, scoop and level for the T)
1/8 t baking soda
pinch sea salt
2 T semisweet chocolate chipswhisk together in a small bowl, add to wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
separate dough into two, flatten it to about 1/2-inch thickness: the cookies will flatten down just a little bit while baking.
bake for 12-15 minutes, you want them to be golden brown and set. let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes. finish to cool on rack.
I am starting do you your trick of minimizing the recipe so that I only get 3 or 4 cookies out of it so I don’t go insane on the cookie front. Great idea. These chocolate chip cookies look awesome and in spelt too! And no refined sugars! Brilliant. And I just can’t think of anything to say about the carob pumpkin muffins other than NOMNOMNOMNOM. Great job as usual Celine!
I make small batches of cookies all the time but I’ve never cut down a recipe to just 2! They sound really good, I’m going to try them with crunchy sunbutter (sunflower seed butter).
thanks for the promt response! im not sure how much brown sugar to use, so maybe i will try with agave.
also, is there a different result using all-purpose flour instead of spelt?
well, usually it’s customary to use a touch less all purpose flour than spelt. from 2 T-1/4 cup less. but maybe it’d be wiser to go for a whole different kind of cookie, chloe, since you have to make so many changes to the recipe anyway?
I shouldn’t be looking here while hungry.
I wonder if work will pay me to go home, so I can bake these?
