Can you make chocolate chip cookies with spelt flour? Yes! I ran out of white flour a few weeks ago and used spelt flour to make the traditional Nestle Toll House cookies instead.
They were really delish! The spelt flour gives the cookie a nutty flavor without using nuts!
Spelt flour is also lower in calories and lower in gluten.
To make the recipe even lighter in my adapted recipe, I took out a stick of butter, and I still liked 'em.
Yes, an entire STICK of butter was removed from the Nestle recipe, so if you are missing it go ahead and up the butter!
