1 cup cashews (unsoaked)
3/4 to 1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes (AKA dried coconut)
The juice of one medium lemon (2-3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon agave nectar or maple syrup (you could use honey but they won't dehydrate as well since honey won't solidify at low raw temperatures)
Directions
1. Process the cashews in a food processer until they resemble coarse flour.
2. Add the coconut and process again until very well mixed.
3. Add the lemon and the sweetener. Process again until resembling dough. (If it's a bit too wet, add more coconut. If it's a bit dry, add a tiny bit of water.)
4. Shape into cookies and dehydrate for 8 hours for a nice, moist cookie. Eat right away and refrigerate leftovers. Dehydrate for longer if you want to store them for a longer shelf life.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Raw lemon cookie recipes were on the top of my list of recipes to make when I recently received my new dehydrator.
Once again, this is a delightfully simple recipe that only contains four ingredients: cashews, unsweetened coconut, a lemon, and a sweetener like honey or agave nectar.
These cookies have a sweet, simple, creamy flavour and you'll be amazed at how much lemon flavour comes from just one lemon. This is a small recipe, which is perfect for sampling. Try a small batch and see how you like these raw lemon coconut cookies.
I love their simple, satisfying sweet lemony flavour.

These look deliciuos. I do not have a dehydrator, can I eat them without dehydrating the dough?

Hi Jenn! Try these instead since a dehydrator is not required for them: http://www.therawtarian.com/raw-lemon-bars-recipe

Hi AndroidGal, it's been quite a while since I made this recipe - but if memory serves correctly it's probably aroun 12-14 cookies

Just made a batch and ate half right there, but shaped the rest into heart shapes and they are in the dehydrator. Thank you!
I do have a question though - is there an easy way to shape these?

Cute, Tanya! These are a bit sticky for shaping easily - washing your hands frequently will help :)

So what is a dehydrator and where can I buy one in the UK? Is there anything else I can use instead?

Hi Julie, try making my lemon bars instead - a dehydrator is not required. Best to buy one online - in the US and Canada, Excalibur is the best brand.
Best dehydrator is 9-tray excalibur, hands down. But... it is expensive! http://tinyurl.com/ah6o3qt
You can also get a Vegikiln - they are cheaper, white, not as "reputable" but they get the job done: http://tinyurl.com/avb59e3

I'm totally new to dehydrating so I don't know what temp to set it! Help please! Had to totally abstain from eating all of the batter! Yummy!

Hi Danielle! Generally the ideal low temp is between 105 and 110 degrees F.
