Just thought I would compose a quick post about the raw cookies that some of you got to taste last night. I forgot to take pictures of the dough and the process, so we'll have to save that for next time.
I used a slight variation on the recipe that I featured from Raw Nirvana on this post. It basically consisted of the following: (BTW, this is what I did -- it isn't necessarily the recipe as they have it. Watch the video if you want an exact replica)
- Take about 1/2 cup almonds and 1/2 cup walnuts and a dash of salt
- Process in food processor until the consistency of meal
- I added four pitted dates and 1/2 cup (give or take) of raisins and a dash of almond extract
- Process that well with the nut meal
- Add to that 1/2 cup of shaved (grated) coconut
- Blend well in food processor
Voila! You are done!
From there you will most likely want to keep it refrigerated. At least, that is, whatever is not consumed outright! I rolled some of mine in a ball and then rolled it in coconut again, but the majority of it I placed in the fridge and plundered from time to time when I was feeling peckish.
I found it to be surprisingly sweet and rich and it really satisfied my sugar cravings.
Big thumbs up and simple to boot!
