Real Raw Delights

the raw lifestyle has such a wonderful and even versatile vision of food! these cookies are kind of the perfect sweet treat: delicious, incredibly nutritious, and just so adorable!



we were just testing this combination out,
so made a small amount, around 6-8 mini cookies
simply double or triple (whatever!)
to adjust to your desired serving size!

ingredients:
1/2 cup raw almonds, cashews, hazelnuts
1/2 cup pitted dates
3 Tbsp pure cocoa powder (no added sugar/sweetners!)
few drops vanilla extract
generous sprinkle cinnamon

directions:
1. using a blender or food processor, blend all these ingredients! keep blending until most ingredients have been finely/coarsely chopped & the mix becomes sticky
2. take out the mix & with your hands roll into a large ball. keep working with the dough until very shiny & all moulded together!
3. then separate into cookie shapes... whatever size and quantity you are after
4. put in freezer & let "cook" for maybe 20 minutes

then munch away at these beautiful babies!
also, we definitely recommend you try these with some vegan ice cream or sorbet!
