Basic Vegan Spelt Cookies - Chocolate/Carob Chip
"I wanted to make some basic chocolate chip cookies for my kids (vegan & spelt) and found this recipe on http://www.vegfamily.com/vegan-recipes/desserts/spelt-carob-cookies.htm. It goes together really quickly and easily and only has 8 ingredients. I used a light spelt flour, which I think is most suitable for this recipe. They're a little cake-like, as with most vegan cookies...I prefer them this way. Note that the recipe only makes 12 cookies - you could make 24 small ones, but I like the larger size. Use carob or vegan chocolate chips, and I'm sure you could add some nuts and seeds if you choose. Hope you enjoy!"

Amazing! One night with a serious sugar craving I opted to make cookies instead of my normal cupcakes (I run a vegan cupcake business) I have never really bothered much with cookies so searched the net for a recipe. Boy I was not disappointed, two secured my craving-my husband (not vegan) happily devoured the rest within a hour! Great recipe and so easy. Hopefully my photo is approved so you can see the finished product yourselves. X
