What makes these cookies healthy?
Almond Flour is a healthy alternative to all-purpose flour as it is low in carbs and a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Tahini is a sesame seed paste and can be found alongside peanut butter at your supermarket. It is also a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Honey is a natural sweetener, rich in antioxidants.
Chocolate is also rich in antioxidants.
Flaxseed - Ground Flaxseed (also known as flax meal) is a good source of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help promote brain and heart health.
Hemp Hearts - Hemp hearts are the soft, inner part of hemp seeds. They are also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
How to make S'more Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ¼ cup of the graham cracker crumbs, flaxseed, hemp hearts, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, honey, and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Form the dough into one inch balls and roll them in the remaining graham cracker crumbs. Place them on the baking sheets two inches apart. Flatten each cookie to ¼ inch thick with a spatula, and top with chocolate chunks and marshmallows.
Bake for 7 minutes on middle rack, then broil on high for 1 minute to toast the marshmallows. Serve warm.
