15 Spelt Flour Christmas Cookie Recipes (Tender Crumb)

Spelt Gingerbread Cookies

Spelt gingerbread cookies are a delightful twist on the traditional gingerbread cookie, made with spelt flour, which offers a slightly nutty flavor and a healthier alternative to regular all-purpose flour. Perfect for the holiday season, these soft yet sturdy cookies can be decorated with icing and enjoyed by the whole family. Whether you are baking them for a festive gathering or simply to enjoy at home, these cookies will bring the warmth and joy of the holidays into your kitchen.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well incorporated.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, take the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, cream them together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
4. Add Molasses and Egg: Beat in the molasses, followed by the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well blended and smooth.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a thick dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until there are no streaks of flour visible.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to roll out later and help the cookies maintain their shape when baking.
7. Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, sprinkle a clean surface with extra spelt flour. Divide the dough into two halves and roll out one half to about ¼-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
8. Cut Out Cookies: Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes from the rolled dough. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each one.
9. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Decorate (Optional): Once the cookies have cooled, feel free to decorate them with icing or enjoy them plain. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Enjoy your homemade spelt gingerbread cookies during this festive season, bringing a delightful and wholesome treat to your celebrations!

Spelt Double Chocolate Cookies

These cookies are perfect for anyone who loves chocolate and desires a healthier alternative without compromising taste.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This mixture forms the base for your cookie dough.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, taking about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, starting on low speed to prevent flour from flying everywhere. Mix until just combined and a dough forms.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Drop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each ball for spreading.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set while the centers might look slightly underbaked.
9. Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these rich and indulgent spelt double chocolate cookies with a glass of milk or a warm beverage during the festive season!
