Spelt and Molasses Cookies
These little healthy numbers remind me of those pfeffernuse cookies you buy in packets at Christmas time...sort of. They are a bit more dense, and totally yummy cold from the fridge with the chocolate all nice and hard. In fact I would go so far as to suggest coating the entire cookie, but that is a bit of a pain...up to you.
The kids will like these. You will like these. Your German/Danish/Dutch grandmother will like these. (Assuming you have one!)
Christmas or no Christmas, enjoy!
