Description
These chocolate shortbread cookies with kelp are a crisp, baked confection incorporating wild-harvested Alaskan bull kelp and cocoa powder. They provide a structural balance of deep cocoa richness and subtle mineral umami.
Craft & Origin
Barnacle produces these cookies in Juneau, Alaska, combining traditional baking methods with regional ocean ingredients. Wild bull kelp is harvested from local coastal waters and processed into a fine powder to preserve its mineral profile before integration into the dough. The inclusion of sea vegetables introduces natural sodium and complex trace elements that alter the baked density. This production model utilizes sustainable marine aquaculture while reimagining typical sweet formats through regional Alaskan sourcing.
Flavor & Texture
The texture is crumbly and crisp. The cookies feature a deep cocoa profile with a subtle, savory undercurrent.
How to Use
Serve alongside a hot cup of black coffee, espresso, or a glass of cold milk.
