Preheat the oven to 275°F.
Roughly chop the almonds by hand using a knife.
Grind the hemp hearts into a fine powder using a spice/coffee grinder and pulse 3-4 times. Avoid over pulsing and stop the grinder before it starts to clump together.
Mix all dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl using a whisk and break up any clumps by hand.
Add the liquids to the dry mixture.
Using a mooncake press, add the mixture into the mold and press tightly with a spoon, about 1/2 inch in thickness.
Form the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool cookies on a baking sheet and allow to harden before transferring to a baking rack. Enjoy.
