WHEAT BELLY!!!
In truth, I love Belvita biscuits for breakfast.

local organic honey
Whyâs that? Do foreign bees put something into their secretions that is not digestible by eco-hipsters? Why not local organic vanilla extract, or local organic baking powder?
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
I guess the only excuse for that is if you happen to be Jewish. Otherwise, youâre just one giant tool.
Kosher salt (or koshering salt if youâre an pedant) has a larger grain size and a different shape. Table salt is much finer and packs more densely, something thatâs worth bearing in mind if youâre giving measurements by volume.
If youâre watching your salt intake or just dislike over-salted baked chick-pea patties, itâs good to know what the cook was using.

made these this weekend. Very good, quite filling and very much like a cookie. They were worth the effort to make and I will make them again!

On the other hand, youâre talking about 1/4 teaspoon for a whole batch of âcookiesâ. The salt factor is not going to be high in either case.
The reason why they specify âlocal organicâ honey is because theyâre hipsters. They will tell you however that store bought honey is âultra filteredâ which means it could come from anywhere, including places that have heavy metal contamination.
I am not going to pass judgement on these until I try the recipe, but I am tempered by previous experiences with recipes that look like this. The people who write recipes that look like this often have forgotten what a cookie tastes like and donât realize just how far off they are. Itâs the monkey house problem:

After a hour in the monkey house you somewhat forget about the smell and look around a bit.
If you live in the monkey house you never notice the smell again.[/quote]
