Spelt Cherry Cookies

These cookies are tender and chewy. They are made with spelt flour and have replaced chocolate chip cookies as the favorite in my house. Store in a cookie jar or covered container. Keeps fresh for a few days, or can be frozen to eat later!

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups spelt flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup cocoa nibs
• 0.5 cup dried cherries

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. Beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add egg and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; beat until dough is blended. Fold cocoa nibs and cherries it batter. Drop batter by the spoonful onto a baking sheet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are beginning to brown around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
