Recipe Directions
1. Grind the cashews in a food processor until a powdery meal forms.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and continue processing on low until the dough forms a large ball.
3. Measure out 1 1/2 tablespoon sized cookies. Roll and flatten them into cookies shapes. These can be as thick as you want: 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
4. Place in a plastic bag in the freezer. These will keep for up to 3 months.
Bees Knees Kitchen's Thoughts
By Bees Knees Kitchen One of the many ways I’m cooling off is enjoying these Southern inspired lemon icebox cookies.
These summer cookies have a delicate tangy and sweet flavor that melt in your mouth.

And...I just made the cookies using the date syrup and I replaced Lucuma for Vanilla powder (I'd never heard of it until now) and these cookies barely made it to the "icebox" at all. LOL

First, admittedly, I am a relatively new raw foodist. Are these cookies eaten fresh from the freezer--sort of like popsicles--or are they served thawed, to room temperature? ~Mae

Yes, honey or agave would work for these cookies. Happy un-cooking!

I have late stage liver disease and someone was telling me that whole lemon supplements were good for liver patients detoxing and healing...the supplements are expensive, and I was thinking it would be cheaper to buy whole organic lemons and eat the whole thing, right? But how to make it palatable? Well, I've always loved small sweet things with coffee in the morning, so I was thinking if I made a cookie with the whole lemon, it would be healthy. I also need to incorporate extra virgin coconut oil (a healthy form of fat that doesn't need to be processed by the liver), and raw honey (for the enzymes), and sprouted raw nuts (especially sunflower for vit e), and I want my breakfast to be a high-protein meal that doesn't involve meat. So this recipe is perfect for me, especially if I use honey, add coconut oil and puree a variety of sprouted nuts (sunflower, pumpkin, pistachio, cashew, etc.), then maybe even add some sprouted amaranth flour. I also have been looking for a safe, healthy way to incorporate raw egg yolk into my diet. If I added raw egg yolk to this recipe and froze it and only ate it frozen, would that be safe, do you think?

I actually made this syrup last night, after some research regarding agave & bats, and it is AWESOME! I will use this more in the future and get off of agave altogether. ***In reference to Turil's post on making a sweetener syrup from dates & water. I got the recipe from this website (Gone Raw)***

While dates are a delicious substitution, agave nectar cannot possibly turn into tequila unless there is yeast in it. (Take it from me, I make my own booze). I'm apt to believe agave nectar labeled as "raw" is in fact raw. The same goes for maple syrup; there has to be yeast in order for fermentation resulting in alcohol production to be possible.

Lemon Icebox Cookies
Delicious! As a sweetener, i used dates soaked in hot water, then blended in food processor. They're in the freezer right now. Really yummy when unfrozen, can't wait to try frozen!

Lemon Icebox Cookies
Holy Delicious!
I just made these minus the salt and used honey instead of agave, but they are way delicious. I juiced a lemon and a lime as well. I bet they'd taste great with ginger. Can't wait til they freeze! Thanks for the recipe.

@ MaeBeigh these cookies can be eaten straight from the freezer for a chewy consistancey. Or can be eaten defrosted but will be much softer. I prefer them frozen, even during winter!

Neither agave nor maple syrup are raw. (Even if the agave says "raw" it can't possibly be, because it would turn into Tequila if not heated to boiling point.)
Instead you can use nice healthy raw dates, blended with a little water to make a syrup. Yay for dates!

Most Organic Agave does't contain anything except pure agave nectar from the cacti plant. I wouldn't worry to much about fructose being in the agave unless you buy in bulk from a non-organic company!

These look GOOOOOOOOD
ooo tho... heard agave is high in fructose due to the manufacturers methods. So i would use Maple Syrup or something... Or, if there's truly raw pure real agave. dunno!
