Christmas Ginger Hemp Cookies

Like puppies, Ginger and Hemp Cookies aren't just for Christmas - but they are great at Christmas. Unlike puppies, these ginger and hemp cookies are easy to make, delicious to eat, and have a nutritional profile that's quite rare in holiday baking. 

And they look pretty!

Ingredients 

• 2 1/2 tbsp filtered water
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds freshly ground if possible
• 2 cups Hemp Hearts
• 2 cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut
• 2 tsp ground ginger
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp pink rock sea salt or gray sea salt
• 2/3 cup raw liquid honey
• 2 tbsp Refined Hemp Seed Oil or Coconut Oil 

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the water and flax, and let sit for 10 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the hemp, coconut, ginger, cinnamon and salt.
4. Add the honey and coconut butter to the flax. With a hand mixer, beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
5. Fold this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and combine well. The resulting texture should be fairly dry.
6. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture, and, using your hands, roll into a ball. Place on a baking sheet. With wet fingers, flatten the top so the cookie is 1/2 inch thick. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
7. Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly golden.
