Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coconut butter see Notes
  • 3 tablespoon natural peanut butter, salted
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1¼ cups spelt flour (165 g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 2½ ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • pinch flaked salt to sprinkle on top, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, and line one large or two small baking sheets with parchment. 
  2. In a small bowl warm the coconut butter in the microwave until just barely softened. Measure to make sure you have ¼ cup. Alternatively, warm it in a small pan on the stove. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, milk, and vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  3. In a mixing bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. 
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Fold in the peanuts and chunks of chocolate.
  5. Scoop about two rounded tablespoons of dough into your hand and flatten with your palms, forming into a cookie shape. Make sure the nuts and chocolate are evenly dispersed so the cookies hold together. Place on the prepared pans about two inches apart. The cookies will spread slightly.
  6. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the bottoms are golden and the chocolate is melted. Let the cookies to cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks. 

Notes

  • Once cool, store spelt cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Cookies also freeze well; allow an hour or two to thaw before serving.
  • Buying coconut butter can be quite expensive, but if you have a food processor you can make your own by processing dried, unsweetened coconut flakes until creamy. You can find many recipes online with helpful tips.
