Raw Almond Cookies

Here is the recipe for raw cookies which you don't need to dehydrate. I found it yesterday on golubkas page - it looked so tasty, that my daughter told me that she wants me to make her the same cookies. 

 You see who is the boss in our house! ;-)

Raw Almond Cookie

 

Pulp from the almond milk (2c of almonds + 6c of water makes milk) 

1 tbsp raw honey

3-4 tbsp raw agave nectar or sweetener of your choice

4 tbsp coconut oil
4 tbsp mesquite powder
2 tbsp maca powder
6 dates - pitted

Fillings

 

mulberries 

pistachios and 2-3 tbsp raw cacao powder

(The possibilities here are endless you can choose whatever you like)

Cut the filling ingredients into small pieces and set aside. In a bowl, thoroughly mix all the cookie ingredients with your hands to form a smooth cookie dough. Taste for sweetness before forming the cookies, add more agave if necessary. If using different fillings, divide the dough into for example three even parts (as I did, one was without filling and the other two with filling) . Mix the fillings into the dough and form cookies of any shape and size of your liking. Keep refrigerated. Best enjoyed within a couple of days.

 

 

 

Almond Milk

 

2 cups almonds - soaked overnight
6 cups water
4 dates - pitted
2 tbsp agave or sweetener of your choice
1/2 vanilla bean pod without beans OR 1/4 whole vanilla pod

Separate the ingredients in half, otherwise the blender will overflow. In a high speed blender, combine half of each ingredient at a time until thoroughly blended. Strain through a nut bag or double lined cheesecloth, carefully squeezing all the liquid out and reserving the pulp. Drink chilled within two days. I even like to add some cacao powder and enjoy drinking it with my daughter! :-)
