Great Canadian Hemp Cookies

Great Canadian Hemp Cookies

Servings: 24

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tbsp. filtered water
  • 1 tbsp. ground flaxseeds (freshly ground if possible)
  • 2 cups Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
  • 2 cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut
  • 2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. pink rock or gray sea salt
  • 2/3 cup raw liquid honey
  • 2 tbsp. coconut butter (or coconut oil if coconut butter is unavailable)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the water and flax, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Hemp Hearts, coconut, ginger, cinnamon and salt.
  4. Add the honey and coconut butter to the flax. With a hand mixer, beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
  5. Fold this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and combine well. The resulting texture should be fairly dry.
  6. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture, and, using your hands, roll into a ball. Place on a baking sheet. With wet fingers, flatten the top so the cookie is 1/2 inch thick. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly golden. Makes 24 cookies. Will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature or up to 6 months in the freezer.
