Giant Batch! Gluten-free Hempseed Cookies

The High Value Chocolate Chip Cookie

Almond flour, hemp seeds, dark chocolate chips. No gluten, no apology, no sad aftertaste. These cookies taste like an indulgence and work like an investment — in your protein, your good fats, and the part of your afternoon that used to require a nap.

A midlife-friendly treat that actually earns its place on the counter.

This is a giant version (about 4x a normal recipe). It's the combo that I make most often so I can freeze dough and have it at the ready as needed. A few cookies can even be baked in the toaster!
