One 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.

These 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.

Mingle 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!

Comments

  1. Delicious cookie! I did not melt the coconut oil, through it in a food processor instead of a blender!

  2. No, I think that’s right on track. I found 16 oz of hemp hearts at Walmart for a hair under 10 bucks.

  3. If I only have mini chips should I reduce the amount of chocolate chips. Seems like a cup would be a lot. I got hemp hearts today. A little pricey I thought but I’ve never purchased them before. I found them at Aldi. $4.99 for 8oz . Is that high?

  4. I haven’t tested this recipe using ether of those on their own. I really love the all purpose blend because it gives the best results!

  5. Oh…my…goodness. I am still savoring the flavor of these soft, fluffy cookies from heaven as I type. I didn’t have enough coconut sugar, so I did 1/2 cup coconut sugar, and 1/2 cup brown. I also had to reduce (and I mean pick out) about 1/3 cup of my gluten free flour (a brand That makes EVERYTHING dry) and add a bit more almond milk to make the batter more manageable. I used a regular ice cream scooper for bigger cookies, baked for 13min, and WOW! Great job Katherine!

  6. How do you liquify the coconut oil – in the microwave? Also, can I use a cuisinart food processor instead of a blender?

  7. My kids love hemp hearts! Sorry for the annoying question but any recommendations of using coconut flour or almond flour? I don’t have any GF or all purpose flour in the house.
