Hempseed Butter Thumbprint Cookies (Healthy HB + J Thumbprints 2.0)

Oh. My. Goodness. You are all going to love this recipe. It's the long overdue upgrade my first lemon ricotta thumbprint cookies needed. These cookies are unbelievably healthy whilst being downright scrumptious with a pleasing aesthetic. These cookies are nutty, earthy, and sweet with an almost almond butter cookie-ness to them, and have an amazing crispy outside and a soft center. Bringing it all together is the dollop of jam in the center of each cookie, the fruity notes complementing the hemp in the cookies delightfully. But you don't have to add the thumbprint and jam if you don't want to- the cookies are still delish even without the jelly! Possibly the most impressive part of these cookies is how nutrient-dense and clean they are: vegan, gluten-free, paleo, fruit-sweetened, nut-free, coconut-free, naturally colored, high in omega-3s, and high-protein with nourishing ingredients like green spirulina, superseeds, and rich spices. This is a cookie unlike all others I have done, and it is so, so healthy & wholesome yet tasty. And because it's a green recipe: Happy (belated) St. Paddy's Day!

These Hempseed Butter Thumbprint Cookies are my latest nut-free/date-sweetened cookie addition to The Dimpled Date. Other favorites include my Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies, Paleo Pumpkin Seed Butter Cookies (with Cinnamon Chips), and my Healthy Pumpkin Snickerdoodles.

Another few great things about these Hemp Thumbprints is that they are:

• Paleo

• Vegan

• Gluten-Free

• High-Protein

• High-Fiber

• Rich in omega-3s

• Fruit-Sweetened

• and packed with Superfoods

And they actually taste good! The hemp butter + jammy center gives straight PB + J of a much healthier variety. And the texture is a soft-baked inside, with a nice golden brown bottom, and a fluffy/gooey top. What's not to love?

They're pretty cookies too, and almost give me dragon vibes (I have no idea why lol. But these would look great at a kid's dinosaur-themed party or a dragoncore party fr).

Anyways, let's get to that recipe, after I briefly finish this post...

I said this in my last post, but my Tahini Choco Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream recipe is a subscribers-only post, so for the rest of you, I want to say this. Sorry I've been gone from the blog for a while. I've been busy with the baking leg of my business, applying to other jobs, and self-publishing my first novel (whilst writing the second in the series and the first in another series) !! I've also been dealing with some health stuff, that I am working to resolve.

So I've been busy, to say the least. But I really, really want and need to be more active on the blog sharing healthy, delicious, aesthetic recipes because the blog is where it all started. The blog predates the bakery side of The Dimpled Date, and I need to remember that, especially since most of you probably aren't local to where I live. But moving forward, I will really try to be more active on the website, posting recipes, and starting the Fruity Newsletter up again. Thank you for understanding my decreased activity on the blog.

But this is a perfect plantful & green recipe to ring in spring. Also did you all see my blooming green shag cake on Insta? Go check out the botanical cake lewk on my Insta @thedimpleddate
