Spelt Cherry Cookies with Cocoa Nibs

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spelt Cherry Cookies with Cocoa Nibs.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C), setting the stage for some delicious cookies.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and cream together the brown sugar and softened butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add in the egg and a splash of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until everything is beautifully combined.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to introduce the dry ingredients: gradually mix in the spelt flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until a lovely dough forms.

4. Step 4

   For a delightful twist, gently fold in the cocoa nibs and dried cherries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for bursts of flavor in every bite.

5. Step 5

   Now comes the fun part! Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto a baking sheet, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart to give them room to spread.

6. Step 6

   Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for 10 to 12 minutes, keeping an eye out for those golden brown edges that signal they’re ready.

7. Step 7

   Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes—this helps them set just right—before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Step 8

   Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the first bite of your homemade treats!.
