Yummy recipe! Thanks a lot!

Just tried the recipe- could eat the cookie-dough right out of the bowl :-)
I dehydrated them in the oven for about 10 hours, so that they are still a little bit soft inside. Do you keep them refrigerated?

Hi there, I've been really enjoying your site and your recipes. I plan to make these and the lemon cookies this week.

I just want to clarify though; coconut oil and butter are actually not the same thing. Here's a good link about coconut butter: http://ohsheglows.com/2010/06/22/homemade-coconut-butter/

So I assume it's coconut oil that you use in this recipe? Or is it the thicker butter made out of coconut meat?

Thanks!

I made these and blogged about them here: http://bit.ly/jmkHlD
They are so delicious!

Hi Laura-Jane- I just have a question about this recipe. When you add the almonds and cashews to the food process to an (almost) flour consistency; It seems every time I soak almonds then put in my processor they always end up rather chunky rather than almost floury. Do you ever experience this? Because what's happened in the past is my cakes etc end up chunky rather than smooth. :(

Thanks Laura-Jane. I do have a coffee grinder, for nut use only, and it works fabulously with dry products of course. You're right-I'm sure it's my processor. I've mentioned here before that I think it's going on the fritz, oh well. I'm going to make these cookies anyway! Actually-I received a request to make your brownie and choc frosting for a party I'm attending tomorrow. I've made them before and the person hosting the party-though not raw or vegan, loved them so much that she "craving" them and wants to have some at the party....she has threatened to eat them all herself though :)

These are divine! All my non-healthy-eating friends loved them as well! I think I've become addicted to making your recipes, next up- the granola bars :D

Is 'cocoa' cocoa powder?

WOW... These sound amazing! I just have to interject one comment... Coconut Oil and Coconut Butter are actually NOT the same thing. Coconut Oil is simply the oil extracted from the Coconut meat, Coconut Butter is creamier because it contains both the oil and the meat.

These look fantastic and I'd love to try them. How to you dehydrate if you don't have a dehydrator?

Many thanks, Hidayah

I am not criticizing, but I was curious if you knew, there is much debate on whether or not Agave Syrup is really Raw. Most Agave Syrup you buy in your market is processed similar to that of High Fructose Corn Syrup (and hopefully everyone knows the dangers of that...). It is not a naturally occuring substance, it must be heated, extracted, etc to get to a syrup.

With that said, I own the cookbook this recipe was taken from and I would strongly suggest using Raw Honey in place of the Agave Syrup. Raw Honey is not heated or processed in any way. This might also be why in many credited Raw recipes you will not see the use of Agave Syrup. Also, clearer instructions for those new to soaking, dehyrdrating and raw would be helpful. I myself am not, but your watered down instructions seem to be leaving out many crucial details, like the addition of date water to the batter to make it blend easier. I see comments regarding having a tough time getting the right consistency. That information might help those users. Also questions on the drying consistency. You've left out quite a bit of information here. I realize you are probably trying to make Raw easier for everyone, but you might want to research and check on some of your methods before you label something as "Raw".

I do appreciate your efforts in your modifications to the original recipe from Renee however, I will stick with hers.

My dehydrator just arrived a couple of days ago and I'm making these right now. I don't know if this is typical of all dehydrators, but mine has several different degree settings. For these cookies, what temp should I set this on?

Many thanks and thanks for your earlier feedback, too.

It looks like a very tasty recipe. I don't have a dehydrator... is there a workaround? I do have an oven but that will probably make them too hot I fear.

Thanks from the Netherlands!

i get tired of the taste of cashews sometimes so i rolled these in shredded coconut first and they were lovely! thanks!

I made these cookies along with your raw fudge- they are both AMAZINGLY good!!! I've recently found your website and have found the information, easiness of the recipes and yumminess of them fantastic! I've tried other raw books and have been disappointed with some of the recipes- all yours seem to be winners! Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your website and for the amazing recipes you create- keep up the good work!!! :) Hugs xx

What kind of nuts can I use besides Almond I am allergic to them I want to try these out?

Just wondering what temp. I should dehydrate these at? Thank you soo much for all of your delicious recipes! My daughters love all of your treats!

Hi,i just come across your site and I LOVE IT!With this recipe i do not own a dehyrator could you tell me a alternative?

Has anyone tried to make these with carob powder instead of cacao?

Hi the biscuits look "to die for", just wondering if you can tell me how many biscuits i would expect to get out of the recipe please? I need to count calories and if the recipe makes fifty biscuits then the calories per biscuit is 64 calories each.
Thanks

Vivien, I just made these, and they made 55 1 table spoon size cookies.

I made these and couldn't be bothered dehydrating so just rolled into balls and coated in coconut (dessicated) YUMMMMMMM

I just made these! The base flavor is fantastic, but I took it a bit further: divided the dough in three batches, added chili to the first one (about 1.5 t of aji amarillo), rolled the second batch in coconut, and added 1.5 t spirulina to the last batch. They are dehydrating now, but I couldn't stop myself from taste testing, hehe.
I will probably process the nuts a bit more, my cookies don't look as nice and smooth as yours. BTW, I use soaked and dehydrated nuts, I don't process them wet. Is that why it was a bit different in texture?

To the person asking for carob powder, I don't see why not! I have Medicine Flower's dark chocolate extract, if you want the chocolate flavor without the caffeine, that works great!

I usually use cacoa powder rather thn cocoa, will that be okay?

We decided to eat raw foods in July and your website and recipes have bee a wonderful help in the transition. BTW I have lost 40 pounds and gained a lot of energy! I will never go back to the normal toxic North American cooked, toxic food diet!

Thanks sooo much!!!

how many calories in each one do you guestimate?

These are great. We loved them! They almost taste like chocolate brownies. It's nice knowing I'm doing good for my body! :)

Look yummy! Any alternatives to cashew nuts for this recipe?
