Sure, you've had oatmeal in a sweet, but these cookies also contain spelt flour, which has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor. A dark-chocolate coating and a sprinkling of flaky salt make the ideal finishing touches.

Time 3h15m

Yield Makes 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups spelt flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup natural cane sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
Flaky sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • Whisk together spelt flour, oats, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture to combine. Gather dough in plastic wrap; form into a rectangular disk and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a scant 1/2-inch thickness; cut into 2-inch squares. Place 1 inch apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until firm to the touch and golden around edges, 24 to 26 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Melt chocolate. Dip each cookie diagonally in chocolate; sprinkle with flaky salt, if desired. Refrigerate on parchment-lined sheets until just set.

I love the rustic look of these cookies. They're not perfectly round or uniform, but that just adds to their charm.

I was a bit hesitant to try these cookies because I'm not a big fan of oats, but I'm so glad I did! They're absolutely delicious.
