SPELT COCOA BROWNIES
Now that I get an allergic skin reaction from anything containing wheat, I've been working to convert my favorite recipes so I can enjoy treats with friends. Here is my modified version of an old Betty Crocker Cooky Book recipe that received high marks from others at a recent gathering. Note: Spelt is an ancient grain that may or may not be tolerated by others who have problems with wheat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stir together the sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder all at once and stir until just combined. Stir in half of the semisweet chocolate chips and spread the mixture in the prepared pan.
- Bake until the brownies begin to pull away from the edge of the pan and set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining semisweet chocolate chips and let stand until the chips are melted, about 5 minutes. Spread the melted chips evenly over the top of the brownies with a spatula. Let the chocolate cool for about 10 minutes and then sprinkle with whatever combination of toppings you choose, pressing the toppings gently into the chocolate to adhere. Lift the brownies out of the pan with the foil and cool completely on a rack. Cut into 16 squares and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.

JULENE'S SPELT COOKIES
These are a heartier version of the traditional chocolate chip cookie recipes. Using spelt flour, which is higher in protein and lower in carbohydrate, is a very nice change. The cookies are easy to make and are delicious! Spelt flour is now available in many grocery stores and all health food stores. Try adding sunflower seeds, almonds, shredded coconut, or oats to the batter for something different!

BEST COCOA BROWNIES
Cocoa brownies have the softest center and chewiest candylike top "crust" of all because all of the fat in the recipe (except for a small amount of cocoa butter in the cocoa) is butter, and all of the sugar is granulated sugar rather than the finely milled sugar used in chocolate. Use the best cocoa you know for these fabulous brownies.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
- Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot.
- Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Stir in the nuts, if using. Spread evenly in the lined pan.
- Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
- Lift up the ends of the parchment or foil liner, and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 16 or 25 squares.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your brownies. Use the best quality cocoa powder, chocolate, butter, and flour that you can find.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense brownies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for brownies is 350°F (175°C). Baking them at a higher temperature will result in dry, overcooked brownies, while baking them at a lower temperature will result in undercooked brownies.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: Cutting the brownies while they are still warm will result in messy, crumbly brownies. Let them cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Conclusion:
Spelt cocoa brownies are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them fudgy or cakey, with or without nuts or chocolate chips, these brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
