Summer on the Run? Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies!

Summer is officially in full swing, and that means vacations, sunshine, relaxing, and of course... camping and hiking!  Now, these cookies are the perfect evening snack, but they also pack a protein punch so they are perfect for throwing in your bag for a quick meal on the run.  Whether you are lounging at the beach and too lazy to head up for lunch, or bagging that next peak, these cookies are for you.  And they're easy and quick to make!

Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies

  • 1 cup almond butter (or any other nut butter)
  • 1/4 cup unflavored protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350.  In a food processor, combine all ingredients except chocolate chips.  It will form a big sticky ball.  That's okay.  Just keep your fingertips moist with water and you will be fine

Form "dough" into 8 equal balls.  Place on lined baking sheet.  Flatten.








Add chocolate chips to the top, pressing in a bit.





Place in oven and bake for 10-20 minutes, until they are firm but not burned.
Let cool before removing from the cookie sheet, then either pack them away for your next adventure or... enjoy!
