What you will need
See recipe card below for full ingredient list with measurements.
- hemp: Make sure you use ground hemp And not whole hemp seeds. These serve as the “eggs” in this recipe.
- butter: You will need any brand of plant-based butter such as Myoko’s, Country Crock, Earth Balance or Melt Organic. I love Melt Organic Salted Butter Sticks. You can do melted option coconut oil If you like.
- sugar: White granulated sugar. Use organic sugar to ensure it’s vegan.
- Brown Sugar: You can use light or dark brown sugar.
- Cocoa powder: any Cocoa powder Works but dark Cocoa powder Best for a rich, chocolate flavor.
- Baking powder and soda: Be careful not to mix quantities and use new ingredients (usually purchased within 3-6 months) for best results. You can test the freshness by adding a small amount to hot water. If it’s active, it will be fizzy right away.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: This gives the cookies a little lift and fluffiness. White vinegar is also good to use.
- Vanilla extract: Any vanilla extra works. I prefer a good quality pure vanilla for the best flavor.
- Chocolate chip: Any dairy-free chocolate chips work or you can use chopped dark chocolate.
