Absolutely — this hard white + soft white + spelt blend makes exceptional cookies 🍪🌾
Below is a perfectly tuned cookie recipe designed specifically for fresh-milled flour, giving you soft centers, lightly crisp edges, and zero whole-wheat heaviness.

==== (Hard White · Soft White · Spelt — equal blend) ====

5
===== • ~18–20 cookies =====
• Soft, chewy centers
• Mild, slightly nutty flavor
• Stays soft for days

==== ### ====
* 2¼ cups total fresh-milled flour - ~¾ cup hard white wheat berries - ~¾ cup soft white wheat berries - ~¾ cup spelt berries

👉 Mill fine, then rest flour 10–15 minutes before using.

===== - ½ cup butter, softened (or ¼ cup butter + ¼ cup avocado oil for extra softness) =====
* ½ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
* ¼ cup maple syrup or raw honey
* 1 large egg, room temp
* 1½ tsp vanilla extract

===== - ½ tsp baking soda =====
* ¾ tsp fine sea salt

===== - ¾–1 cup chocolate chips (dark chocolate pairs beautifully with spelt) =====

==== ### ====
* Cream butter + coconut sugar until smooth
* Beat in maple syrup
* Add egg + vanilla and mix just until combined

===== In a separate bowl, whisk: =====
* Fresh-milled flour
* Baking soda
* Salt

===== - Add dry ingredients to wet =====
* Mix just until no dry flour remains
* Fold in chocolate chips

⏸️ Optional rest (highly recommended):
Let dough rest 10–15 minutes
→ hydrates bran and improves chew

===== - Scoop 2 tbsp portions =====
* Place on parchment-lined baking sheet
* Leave ~2½ inches between cookies

===== - Bake at 350°F (175°C) =====
* 10–12 minutes

✅ Pull when:
* Edges look set
* Centers look slightly underbaked

===== - Cool on pan 5 minutes =====
* Transfer to rack

Cookies firm slightly as they cool but stay soft inside.

==== - Spelt → chew + moisture ====
* Soft white → tender bite
* Hard white → structure without toughness
* Extra liquid sweetener offsets fresh-milled absorption

==== - Lower glycemic: all coconut sugar + monk fruit blend ====
* Crispier edges: bake 1–2 min longer
* Thicker cookies: chill dough 30 min
* Nutty: add ½ cup chopped walnuts
* Cast iron skillet cookie: bake at 325°F for 20–25 min

===== I can easily give you: =====
* Sugar cookies
* Oatmeal cookies (fresh-milled oats + this blend)
* Shortbread
* Gluten-lighter version
* Egg-free / dairy-free
