Raw Cookies

This is my all time favorite cookie recipe.  Please give them a try and let me know what you think. I got the idea from: http://ohsheglows.com/2009/05/03/raw-chocolate-chip-cookies/, but altered the recipe a bit, and gave a few more tips. Happy raw baking.

http://ohsheglows.com/2009/05/03/raw-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Cookie dough:


3/4 cups raw almonds 
1/2 cups raw walnuts

1/2 cups ground raw cashews 
3/4 cup ground raw oats
1/4 cup Maple Syrup 
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil
Raw chocolate chips:
2 Tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 cup carob powder
1/2 cup cocoa powder
4 T Maple Syrup 
2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Dough: Grind up raw cashews and raw oats in a food processor. Place all cookie dough ingredients into a large bowl and mix by hand or with a spoon. Mix until a dough forms and you can make a large ball. Refrigerate dough while you make the chocolate chips.
Chips: Mix all chocolate chip ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Roll the dough out onto parchment paper over a cookie sheet, and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Optional: Half way through at 15 mins., flip the chocolate sheet over for even freezing.
When chocolate is frozen, cut into chips. Tip: freeze your pizza roller in the freezer with the chocolate. This will help the chocolate not stick, and roll up into the roller when cutting into chips.

Mix:Mix chips into dough and  press into cookie shapes on new parchment paper over a cookie sheet, and refrigerate of freeze. I like them hard as possible, so I freeze them. When serving for a party, I put layers of cookies on parchment paper and put them on top of ice in a large bowl, or veggie serving dish (that has a lid).
