These sprouted spelt rosemary cookies with chocolate chunks are an absolute must! Sprouted spelt flour gives these cookies a deep, rustic flavor, the rosemary adds a magical twist and the flaked sea salt transports this cookie to the edge of paradise.
Probably every cook’s repertoire of cookies has a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that they love and bake often. There is a wide variety of recipes, some with nuts, white chocolate and even dried fruit but the all-time classic is the Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe.
We have taken the classic chocolate chip cookie to a new level with this chewy, flavorful cookie made with healthy sprouted spelt flour. The whole-grain sprouted spelt flour contributes to the more dense, rustic and chewiness of the cookie.
These cookies are fully-loaded with rich chocolate chunks in every bite and the fresh chopped rosemary is a delightful complimentary ingredient. We sprinkled large flakes of Maldon sea salt on top of each cookie which balances well with the sweetness of the cookie.

Can you substitute maple syrup for the regular sugar?

I haven't tried it yet but it should work with a couple of minor changes. If you want to give it a trial, I would recommend only using 2/3 cup to 3/4 cup of maple syrup and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F or even 325°F. You could try baking just a couple of cookies at 350°F first and if they burn on the bottom and edges before they finish baking you can give it another try at 325°F. Maple syrup tends to caramelize quicker than regular sugar so adjusting the oven temperature helps them cook more evenly. If the batter seems to be too wet with the maple syrup, you can try adding a tablespoon or two more flour. The maple syrup will change the texture of the cookies and I would expect them to turn out a bit more cakey in texture. I hope this helps. I would love to hear back if you give it a try.
