What is Spelt flour?
Spelt flour, an ancient grain, can be used as a 1-1 substitute for whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour. Spelt adds a nutty lightly sweet flavor and has high amounts of protein, fiber, and important nutrients. It is highly digestible, but It’s not a gluten-free flour. It adds a depth of flavor to baked products.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Shape cookies: Use about 1-1/8 ounce cookie dough; scoop or form into balls, place cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Place about ¼ teaspoon fine chopped walnuts in the center of each cookie.
Bake in preheated oven for 11 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven; let rest about 10 minutes. Remove to cooling rack to cool completely.
Sprinkle lightly with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
Yield: about 11 to 12 cookies
