Tips and Notes

If you use the Bimby, you can make the spelt flour yourself. You will need hulled or pearled spelt, which is easily found in supermarkets. Just put the desired amount in the bowl and grind at Turbo speed for 1 minute. (For the TM5 speed 10 for 1 minute). Never exceed the amount of 200 grams of grains to be ground!

For spelt cookies, it is essential to consider the characteristics of this type of flour, as it tends to absorb more liquids than wheat flour. Consequently, it is suggested to adjust the amount of liquids in the dough to achieve the desired consistency.

You also have the option to enrich the spelt cookies by adding well-chopped nuts to not obstruct the passage through the die hole, seeds, or spices, thus giving them an intense flavor and a crunchy texture. It is important to balance the added ingredients since spelt has a distinctive taste. Finally, it is recommended to bake spelt cookies at a slightly lower temperature than traditional cookies, so they do not burn or become excessively crispy. This method will ensure authentic-tasting spelt cookies with an irresistible texture.
