I took my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and packed it with super foods. You get vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with the cocoa nibs and walnuts. Fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids with the flax and chia seeds, and healthy MCT fats in the coconut oil. These cookies are an easy way to treat your kids (or yourself!) with a great tasting dessert that provides nutrition and still satisfies your sweet tooth.

Ingredients
- 1 cup packed brown sugar

Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat brown sugar, coconut sugar, butter, and coconut oil with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into creamed butter mixture until completely blended; beat in vanilla extract with the last egg.
- Stir hot water and baking soda together in a small bowl until baking soda is dissolved; stir into butter mixture. Add cream of tartar and mix well.
- Mix flour into butter mixture until dough is smooth; fold in walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, cocoa nibs, and salt. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet.
