Vegan Chocolate Chip Coconut Spelt Flake Cookies

Falling apart soft cookies without the refined flour and excessive sugar.

1 ½ cup spelt flakes (or old fashioned oatmeal)

¾ cup whole spelt flour

¾ cup brown sugar

¼ cup and 3 Tbs vegan butter

2 tsp egg replacer and 3 Tbs water

1 ½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp vanilla

½ cup chocolate chips

¼ cup shredded dried coconut

pinch of salt

• Combine sugar with butter and vanilla until smooth.

• Mix water and egg replacer thoroughly then add to the sugar butter mixture.

• Mix flour, spelt flakes, baking soda and a pinch of salt.

• Pre-heat oven to 350

• Stir everything together or use a mixer.

• Oil a cookie sheet and put a small amount of flour on it, then tap the sheet to spread the flour so that the whole pan is covered. I have found that this works better to prevent sticking than just oil.

For anyone who has never tried or heard of spelt, it is an ancient form of wheat that has not been genetically modified (to my knowledge yet which could change with increased demand). It behaves similarly to whole wheat flour but seems not to effect those who are sensitive to wheat.
