Author: 
Recipe type: Dessert
 
Super soft and chewy cookies high in protein and beneficial fat.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup of hemp seed butter (if you don’t have hemp seed butter you can substitute tahini which has the same oily, creamy texture. It will taste a bit different but also very good).
  • ⅓ cup of coconut nectar low glycemic sweetener (you can substitute honey or maple syrup)
  • 1 cup of blanched almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • ¼ teaspoon of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 egg (I used a large duck egg)
  • ¼ cup of fresh, diced persimmon (you can substitute apple or pear)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a fork or spatula.
  3. Drop cookies on a cookie sheet lines with parchment paper
  4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes
  5. It will likely melt together but let cool and slice into squares or use cookie cutter to cut in circles or stars!
