Recipe 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
By The Rawtarian 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 maple syrup or agave nectar. (Do not use honey since it doesn't dehydrate.)
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.
Note: this batter is very moist, so you definitely have to dehydrate these little guys!
I love their simple, satisfying sweet lemony flavour.

Could you do this with almond pulp instead of cashews?

I wouldn't recommend it, Heidi, but you could try my Almond Pulp cookies instead! :)

Raw lemon cookie recipe
I made these overnight last night!! I changed it up a bit because I had only half a cup of cashews, I did the other half almond meal, and I added poppy-seeds to make lemon poppy!
Also- my dehydrator book recommends against cooking nuts higher than 105degrees, lest they get rancid. I'm sure its fine, but I was nervous so i did 5 1/2 hours at 105 and they came out AMAZING. Slightly crispy on outside, moist center, lemony goodness!
So yummy I'm going to make again and try all kinds of variations with flavors!

Hi Julia! Lemon poppy sounds totally tasty. I'm glad your cookies turned out for you! :)

This may seem like a silly question, but I wanted to ask if I can put them in the oven, and if so at what temperature and for how long. I'm not fully raw, but I adore your website and make lots of recipes from it. I don't have a dehydrator but these cookies sound delicious! Thanks

Hi Lau!
In your case, try making them without dehydrating or ovening. Perhaps roll them into little balls and freeze instead. They are quite sticky tho.

Raw lemon cookie recipe
Hi,
I was wondering if you know what we can substitute for the coconut? I am allergic.
Thanks!

Hi Trystan, This recipe uses so much coconut that it'll be hard to replace... Best to look for a different recipe! Sorry about that....

Raw lemon cookie recipe
Great recipe, thank you! Do you have any idea how long these biscuits would keep for & how best to store them i.e. are they okay in an air tight container at room temp? I know, I know, normally wouldn't be an issue but I like to make larger batches so they last for a while.
Many thanks!

Raw lemon cookie recipe
Amazing! These are so good you don't have to enjoy eating raw to love these. My entire family (7 kiddos) loved them.
Tip: I have a food grinder for my bosch mixer and I just send the ingredients through the grinder and it is so simple.

What other nuts would go good with this. Will pecans be okay?
The Rawtarian
Oct 10, 2013
No, don't use pecans. Definitely not :)
Instead of cashews you could use macadamia nuts or pine nuts, since they are all creamy nuts.
Pecan flavor will be way too strong for this recipe.
