In several Italian regions, people have started adding hemp flour to the usual shortcrust dough. And you know what? It makes them really special. This flour brings a nutty vibe that pairs perfectly with the gentle sweetness of almond milk. What you get is a batch of hemp biscotti that look visually stunning—there’s a two-tone swirl in each that makes them like little works of art. Not your basic cookies; they're perfect for an aromatic tea break or for sharing as a homemade treat. Those on the hunt for a vegan biscotti recipe or a healthier option will love that these use plant-based ingredients, skipping regular dairy.

How to prepare Hemp cookies with almond milk

To prepare the hemp cookies with almond milk, pour the flour and cubed butter into the bowl of a stand mixer 1. Work the ingredients with the paddle attachment until you get a sandy mixture. Add the brown sugar to the mixture 2 and work for a couple more minutes, then pour in the almond milk 3.

Work the ingredients until you get a soft dough 4. Divide the dough into two equal parts, each weighing 15 oz. Add almond flour to one of the doughs 5 and hemp flour to the other 6.

Work the doughs by hand, incorporating the added flours until you get two homogeneous doughs 7 8. Transfer the doughs to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Lightly flour the work surface and, with a rolling pin, roll out the two doughs to about 1/4 inch thick 9.

You should obtain two sheets of similar size 10. Place the hemp dough on top of the almond one 11 using the rolling pin. Remove the excess dough 12.

Gently roll the dough from the long side to obtain a log about 2 inches in diameter 13. Cut the log into two parts 14 to facilitate moving, and transfer the log to the freezer for 30 minutes 15.

Remove the log from the freezer 16 and cut slices about 1/2 inch thick 17. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 18.

Bake 19 in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 15 minutes, on the middle rack. Remove from the oven 20 and let the hemp cookies with almond milk cool before serving 21.
