PinOne of the most requested recipe ideas I receive weekly are for vegan desserts. There are so many kids these days with food allergies that prevent them from taking part in the myriad of homemade and store bought treats their friends and family get to try which is a total bummer for themselves and their parents.
PinThese Double Chocolate Chip Hemp Heart Cookies are not only massively delicious, but also packed with protein from my secret ingredient: Hemp Seeds!
By blending over half of the Hemp Seeds into the mixture with the chocolate chips it gives the cookies almost a nutty flavor. By keeping a handful of them whole as well you get a tiny interesting chewiness within every bite.
PinMingle that unique take on Hemp Seeds with vegan or regular chocolate chips (I’m all about options) and you’ve got a mindblowingly delectable chocolate chip cookie!

- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions

- Bake cookies for 11 minutes for softer cookies and 13-14 minutes for crisper cookies.
- * You can also use all purpose flour or white wheat flour instead of the gluten free flour and semi sweet chocolate chips instead of vegan/dairy free chips if you desire
Best cookies I’ve ever baked, certified by picky eaters in the family. Second time I made them with butter, whole wheat flour and normal milk, added chopped walnuts, (baked for 18 minutes in my small OTG) still the absolute best. Thank you so much.
