Healthy Maple Spice Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Real Maple Syrup
- 2 eggs
- 4-1/4 cup Spelt flour
- 2-1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- maple sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preaheat oven to 350. Put parchment paper on 2 cookie sheets.
- Cream the butter and maple syrup until well mixed.
- Add eggs one at a time.
- In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture slowly, mixing well after you add each time. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not too much.
- Roll the dough into little 1-1/2 inch balls and dip into the maple sugar if using.
- Place the balls on the cookie sheet 2 inches apart as they do spread out some.
- Bake for 11 minutes. DO NOT overbake! Spelt flour is a drier flour so you don't want to overbake. You want these cookies to be nice and moist!! I even baked some for 10 minutes and they turned out good too.
- Transfer to a cooling rack, or just pop a nice warm one in your mouth and enjoy!!
Notes
If you want a more mapley flavor I would suggest adding a Teaspoon of Maple Extract.
