Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, these Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies are a fun twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie with a slight salty bite from the almonds.
Prepare a cookie tray with non-stick spray or a non-stick baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and stevia/monk fruit sweetener.
Add in the vanilla extract, salt and egg, and whisk together thoroughly.
Add the spelt flour, baking powder and baking soda into the bowl. Mix the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture.
Add in the chocolate chips and chopped almonds, and fold into the dough. You may need to use your hands to knead the chocolate and almonds evenly into the dough.
Take a large spoon and scoop a tablespoon of the dough. Roll the dough into balls and place on the prepared cookie tray. Repeat with remaining dough.
Flatten the balls to approximately 1 inch thickness.
Bake in a preheated oven for 10-15 mins till lightly golden brown.
Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 mins before eating!
