Hemp Seed and Cranberry Cookies, it’s clear that I love making homemade cookies because the fewer ingredients there are, the better. Seeds, in general, are precious allies for health due to their nutritional properties. But above all, for those who are looking for taste and wellness that always help. Hemp seeds, in particular, have a high content of zinc and phosphorus that aids normal energy metabolism.

These cookies are suitable for everyone, for those following a vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free diet, and for those who are lactose intolerant.

Ingredients for making hemp seed and cranberry cookies

1/3 cup hemp seeds
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 2/3 cups rice flour
1/4 cup seed oil
2 tbsps water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
1 orange (juice and grated zest)

Tools for making cookies

Bowl
Whisk
Rolling Pin
Pastry Board

Steps

I extract the orange juice and grate the zest over the sugar to retain the essential oils. The orange absolutely must be organic if grated.
I prepare a nice large bowl to collect all the ingredients, first adding the dry ingredients like the flour,
the hulled hemp seeds,
the sugar with the grated orange zest,
I mix with the help of the whisk.
I make a small well in the mixed powders and add the oil,
the orange juice
and continue to mix all the ingredients.
I add the dried cranberries to the cookie and hemp seed dough. If necessary, add water if the dough seems too dense, I added a small cup.
I transfer the mixture to the pastry board and
use the rolling pin to flatten the dough.
With a small glass, I shape the cookies and place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I bake in a preheated oven at 338°F for 20 minutes.
And here are the hemp seed and cranberry cookies ready.
Once they cool down, sprinkle them with powdered sugar ready to be enjoyed.
