Magnesium Chocolate Chip Cookies with baked in Herbs
What can be better than Herbs baked in a Dessert!? A dessert that is actually not bad for you, even if you have health issues!
I use herbs everywhere, it has become almost a habit. Especially with something that can be potentially harmful, like the sugars in the form of Maple Syrup in a combination of fats. These cookies turned out Amazing! I doubled the recipe so we had extra to give – to leave for Santa with my Homemade EggNog this Christmas!
Always use Herbs in your Cooking and Baking!
PASCHA Organic Dark Chocolate Baking Chips (link where to buy is below the recipe) may not be an Herb, but it is a very clean product in my opinion, plus they are not sweetened so the bitterness aids in promoting your digestions, and Cacao has a long list of benefits for your brain and body!
Magnesium Chocolate Chip Cookies with baked in Herbs Recipe:
Made with pumpkin seeds and herbs. Gluten-Dairy-Corn-Soy-Free.
- 1 1/4 cup Organic Ground Pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup Organic Ground Watermelon seeds
- 2 Tbsp Organic Coconut flour
- 2 Tbsp Organic Ground Turmeric
- 3 Tbsp Ground Herbs see recipe notes below
- ½ cup Organic GF Old Fashioned Oats optional, in case the dough is too runny.
- ½ tsp Celtic sea salt
- ¼ to ½ tsp Organic Ground cayenne pepper or as much as you can handle!
- ⅔ cup Organic Maple or Cane sugar (or your sweetener of choice)
- 1/3 cup Organic Coconut oil or Grass Fed Ghee cold or room temperature
- 1 tsp Organic Ground vanilla or safe vanilla essence
- 1 Farm fresh egg
- 1 ½ tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Organic Lemon Juice
- ½ cup PASCHA Organic Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
- ¼ cup Chopped Organic Pecans Or Wild Black Walnuts optional, but great for texture!
-
Preheat oven to 325 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl mix all the ingredients except the last four until well combined. Make sure the consistency of your dough is right, not too runny or thick, adjust with more dry or wet ingredients.
-
In a large spoon mix the lemon juice with baking soda to make the reaction and quickly add to the mix until incorporated.
-
Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.
-
Place tbsp size spoonfuls across cookie sheet 1 ½ inch apart.
-
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cookies are browned on the bottoms.
-
Remove and cool for at least 25 minutes or longer, or until cookies firm up and set.
- In a high-speed blender grind watermelon seeds (if using) first. Then add pumpkin seeds and grind into fine mill but stop before it starts turning into butter. Best to freeze them before grinding, that helps the oils in the nuts not to run.
- If not using watermelon seeds, make it 1¼ cup of pumpkin seeds.
- For "Ground Herbs" Use any combination of Rosehips, Alfalfa, Nettle, Dandelion, Cedar berries (Juniper Monosperma), Hawthorn Berries, Milk Thistle, Ginkgo, Lemongrass, Linden, Horsetail and other herbs that don't taste too strong.
- You can make it egg free, by simply opting it out.
- If you are using honey or maple syrup, you will need to compinsate for the extra liquid and add a bit of extra flour.

NutriBullet 12-Piece High-Speed Blender with miller attachment to grind herbs, even roots!
not sure what I would do without this blender! bought this 4 years ago and its been used at least once a day, but most days multiple times. It’s SO easy to clean and use! If it breaks, I will buy another just like this one! Hope they won’t discontinue!
It is a very clean product IMO. I like that they have no additives and are bitter. The bits of bitterness promotes healthy digestion.
I buy them a bit cheaper in my local Health Foods discount store, but that is the one we usually get.
Always try to avoid “POWDERED” herbs and spices. Look for “GROUND” and always Organic!
