Notes
You can use hemp protein powder or hemp flour in this recipe. Both are gluten free. The hemp protein powder will provide more complete protein in each cookie. The trade off is the hemp flour will provide more fiber.
Here’s a small batch baking idea.
- Set aside ½ to 2/3 the mixed batter (or desired amount). Roll batter into a 2” log, wrap up and store in the freezer. When ready to bake more…
- Cut ½ to ¾ “ thick slices of the desired number of cookies you want from the frozen log.
- Place on cookie sheet and let stand while your oven preheats to 375 F. Bake 9 to 11 minutes.
