These are amazing and so addictive! I usually double the recipe so they will last more than a few days.

Sorry for the blank comment above ~ learning how this works. Santam, I make my own raw almond butter by putting raw almonds right out of the freezer through the Chamption juicer with the blank in place. The first part coming out may seem a little dry, but quickly becomes the most delicious butter. I can get about a cup made before the juicer gets warm, but it is enough to enjoy on sliced apples, and use in recipes. I can get a cup or more of almond butter before the Champion begins to get warm.

Just wanted to say these cookies are the BEST raw cookies I've ever made!! Just DELICIOUS!

I can't get raw almond butter in Norway - in fact, I can't get any raw nut butters. Is there anything I can use to substitute? Could 2 T of almonds ground up in the food p. be used in replacement?

These cookies are wonderful!! I brought them to a non-raw BBQ last weekend and they were a mega hit!

I've just made these. The mixture tastes great!!!! I can't wait to taste the final product!

I only had a half-cup of dates left, so I used a banana to make up for the other half cup. I also used almond extract instead of vanilla, and having no cardamon I used an extra half teaspoon of both cinnamon and nutmeg. I'll let you know how it makes it taste!

These cookies look good, taste great and make your home smell delicious (while in your dehydrator). I just tried them this week. Thanks :-)
