Are you prepared to have the best sea salt chocolate chip cookie you’ve ever tasted? This recipe has been a client favorite for quite some time. The combo that comes with sea salt and decadent chocolate is hard to beat. Being a nutritionist I of course snuck some superfoods into the recipe. I promise you won’t even know they are there nor will your kids. I love finding ways to up the nutrient density of a recipe without having it taste like a “health” food. I’m so excited for you to have the chance to make these delicious cookies in your own home.
I love this sea salt chocolate chip recipe because it brings together two of my favorite things. Quality sea salt and rich chocolate chips. I personally love dark chocolate but you can pick whatever chocolate chips you enjoy. This recipe is really simple and can be made whenever a cookie craving hits.
Being a holistic nutritionist I am always looking for ways to include nutrient-dense ingredients in the recipes I make. I included hemp seeds and chia seeds which are both high in nutrients.
Nutrition of Hemp Seeds
- Exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3)
- Great protein source, as more than 25% of their total calories are from high-quality protein.
- Also, a great source of vitamin E and minerals, such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and zinc
Nutrition of Chia Seeds
- Excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and powerful antioxidants.
- Improve blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, help with weight management & bone health.
- Great source of calcium, manganese, magnesium. copper, iron.

Chocolate Sea Salt Cookie Recipe
Makes 2 dozen Cookies
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 2 cups Oatmeal ( I use gluten-free)
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 Eggs ( can sub for flax eggs if vegan or egg allergy)
- 6 Tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
- 2 Tbsp Hemp Seeds
- 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar (ranges depending on your desired sweetness)
- Chocolate Chips no measurement, I will let you decide how much to include.
- Flaked Sea Salt
Preparation & Baking
Like I said above, this recipe comes together quickly!
- Preheat oven to 350
- Measure out coconut oil and place in oven safe dish to melt.
- Add all ingredients except chocolate chips and sea salt into bowl and add coconut oil once melted.Mix on low speed until evenly combined.Pour chocolate chips in and fold into batter.
- The batter is pretty dense so it will take a litle arm work.
- You can place dough into the fridge while you prepare your cookie sheets. It helps chill the dough and have it easier to scoop out.
- I love to use parchment paper on my baking sheets to help with the items not sticking and easier cleanup.
- I use these cookie scoopers to scoop the cookie dough evenly onto the baking sheets.
- Once you scoop all the dough out, lightly press down on each cookie mound.This cookie dough doesn’t expand when baked, it will rise slightly. So flatten to your desire thickness.
- Once the cookies are flattened, use the flaked sea salt and sprinkle on each individual cookie.Depending on the size of your cookies, you will bake 8-10 minutes until the edges are slightly brown.
- If you have the will power, allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet until completely cool.
