a protein-rich, peanut butter cookie that is incredibly healthful. I was experimenting with different ways to add more protein to my 3-year-old’s diet because he is a pretty finicky eater. These cookies are very healthy and he loves them.

Baked additional 2 minutes. Sprinkled with powdered sugar. Very good !
Good but I was hoping they’d be crispy. These are more like soft baked cake cookies. I love that they are healthy and that this is a recipe using hemp hearts.
