Hemp Heart Chocolate Chip Cookies

You will love this cookie recipe not only for its dense, chewy and crisp textures, but also for its high protein, iron, zinc, magnesium and omega 3 & 6 benefits from the added hemp hearts. Hemp hearts have a mild and nutty flavour that are the perfect addition to smoothies, salads, yogourt or cookies! Despite being part of the same plant species as marijuana, you will not get high from consuming hemp hearts as they contain less than 0.001% THC. The only magical thing about these cookies is the delicious taste and texture.
