Chewy Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Cookies

If you don't have dried kiwis try substituting dried cranberries, blueberries or cherries for them.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter (at room temperature)
1 1/2 cup panela (packed)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups Spelt Flakes
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips
1/3 cup dried kiwi (diced)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).


2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flours, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the spelt flakes, chocolate chips and kiwi. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto greased baking sheets.


3. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
