Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten lightly
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 2/3 cup whole wheat or spelt flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground 5 spices
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups of old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup chopped mixed dried fruit
  • 2 Tbsp crystallized ginger finely chopped

Directions
  1. In a large bowl cream the butter with the brown sugar and beat in the egg, the baking soda mixture, the flour, the salt, the spices and the vanilla.
  2. Stir in the oats, the fruit and ginger and combine the dough well.
  3. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough about 4 inches apart onto greased baking sheets and with a fork dipped in cold water flatten and spread each mound into a thin round, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
  4. Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven 10 to 14 minutes, or until they are golden.
  5. Transfer them with a spatula to racks, and let them cool. The cookies keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days.

Great recipe!!

I'm glad I came across it. I love baking with spelt flour.

I discovered spelt flour 1 year ago and now there´s no other in my pantry. I have both, whole and plain, but always spelt and I do love it.


Sound so good. I love oatmeal. Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks. Debbie (from Atlanta, Georgia, USA)


Looks like my type of cookie...


Hola Inmaculada. I can't wait to try these!
What is "spelt flour" called in Spanish? Where do you buy it?
Besos, Irene.


Sounds fantastic! Got my 5


Made these this a.m and they have nearly all gone! I made my own apple sauce by peeling and chopping an apple and miking for 1mim and mashed. Also used light brown sugar and they came out fine. Great! Thanks!
