If I tell you we're going to bake some cannabis cookies today, are you staring at it? Don't worry, we will use a completely harmless flour, 100% safe! Cannabis sativa is not cannabis indica (a type of Indian hemp that cannot be grown in Italy, known for its amazing properties). In the sativa species, there are no psychotropic or psychoactive nervine molecules (called phytocannabinoids). We can therefore make preparations with hemp seed flour with absolute safety: and today I would like to prepare very special biscuits, which are completely vegetable.

Curiosity: what are flax seeds used for?
Flax seeds, very rich in mucilage, in contact with water form a dense and gelatinous paste: in this case, flax seeds mainly serve as a substitute for eggs.- Combine 60 g of flax dough with the flour. Then add the oil, salt, sifted yeast and, if necessary, a few tablespoons of soy milk: mix everything with your hands until you get a dough with a consistency similar to vegan shortcrust pastry.
- Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 4-5 mm and obtain biscuits with the shape of your choice.
- Place the biscuits in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 ° C for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool and serve: they are excellent for dipping in almond milk or tea.
- Hemp seed flour cookies can be stored in tin containers for 3-4 weeks.

These cookies have a very pleasant aftertaste of tea and are delicious to soak, especially in almond milk or spelled milk! You can keep them in tin boxes: they will remain perfect for 3-4 weeks (but we bet they finish sooner?).Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
ATTENTION! Due to the lack of some data, it is not possible to calculate with sufficient accuracy the nutritional values mentioned in the table opposite.
It is however possible to state that Biscuits with Hemp Flour are sweet foods characterized by a very interesting lipid profile; the fats are mainly unsaturated and the proportion of polyunsaturated (even essential) should be considerable. They do not contain cholesterol and the fibers should be high. Energy is provided above all by the fat fraction and that of carbohydrates.
Biscuits with hemp flour are foods with a NOT negligible caloric intake, which on the other hand lend themselves to the diet against metabolic diseases. They contain gluten, which is why they are to be excluded from the diet for celiac disease, but they do not provide lactose. The average portion is likely to be between 20-30g.
