These gluten-free Super Seed Cookies are made with just 8 ingredients and prepared in 30 minutes. They’re a healthy cookie recipe that’s the perfect snack or fuel on the go. Use your favorite nuts and seeds in these clusters and sweeten them naturally with maple syrup.

A healthy cookie recipe is something I’m always trying to find and recreate over and over. You can’t go wrong with my mom’s Super Seed Cookies, they’re crunchy and full of great flavor all from natural ingredients. 

Packed with vitamins, minerals and a healthy dose of protein, these cookies are great for breakfast, snack, or dessert. The coconut chips, nuts and seeds are bound together using egg and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. We also add tahini for that secret richness in every bite. 

I can’t say no to chocolate especially when it comes to dessert, so we had to finish these cookies with a chocolate drizzle of course. These Super Seed Cookies have become a frequent part of my meal prep recipe regimen and use a handful of pantry ingredients that I always keep stocked from Now© Foods. 

When it comes to having ingredients always on hand, I make sure to have Raw & Unsalted Pumpkin Seeds, Organic & Raw Sesame Seeds, Organic Tahini, and Organic Grade A Maple Syrup on hand.

Ingredients

• Sliced almonds: Add a great subtle nuttiness to the cookie.
• Now© Foods Raw & Unsalted Pumpkin Seeds: Also contribute to the crunch and add a rich fattiness in flavor to each bite. 
• Now© Foods Organic & Raw Sesame Seeds: The small seeds that bring even more texture to the recipe and also pack a punch of robust flavor. 
• Large egg: The key ingredient to helping all of these ingredients bind to each other. 
• Now© Foods Organic Grade A Maple Syrup: The natural sweetness that also adds a hint of caramel-like flavor in each bite. 
• Now© Foods Organic Tahini: Also known as sesame seed paste, is the consistency of a nut butter and gives so much creamy, decadent flavor to the cookie dough. 
• Dairy-free dark chocolate chips: Used to garnish the cookies with a beautiful drizzle and the hint of cocoa that everyone loves.

How to Make Super Seed Cookies

The best part about this easy dessert recipe is you only need two bowls to make it! No special equipment is needed.

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut chips, pumpkin seeds, almonds and sesame seeds. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, maple syrup, and tahini until smooth and combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the coconut chip mixture and fold to evenly combine all of the ingredients- the mixture will be fairly wet.
5. Scoop into 20 cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly with your fingers.
6. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the tray.
7. Drizzle over the melted chocolate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow the chocolate to set (this may need to be in the fridge). Serve.

Tips and Variations

• Swap out the nuts and seeds. Use your favorites here, finely chopped nuts can be mixed in with the other ingredients as long you have some nuts and seeds with surface area (like the sliced almonds, coconut chips, or pumpkin seeds). 
• Use honey instead of maple. Naturally sweeten this recipe with your favorite liquid natural sweetener. 
• Add spices. Ground cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg would all be delicious in these cookies. 
• Cool completely on the baking sheet. This allows the cookie to fully set as it cools.

Storage

Store these seeded cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 3 to 4 months. Freezing is my preference and you can eat them straight out of the freezer!
