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.

Raw lemon cookie recipe
These are so good I almost ate all the batter before I could get the poor things into the dehydrator. Counting the minutes for the 8 hours to pass before I can eat the final product. Will definitely make a double batch next time. Thank you!

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.

So what is a dehydrator and where can I buy one in the UK? Is there anything else I can use instead?
The Rawtarian
May 12, 2013
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

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?

Raw lemon cookie recipe
I just roll the dough in parchment paper and chill, slice and eat or dehydrate! Of course I didn't make cute shapes but they stay roundish.

Nice idea re: turning them into refrigerator cookies Diana :)

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

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

These look deliciuos. I do not have a dehydrator, can I eat them without dehydrating the dough?
The Rawtarian
Feb 17, 2013
Hi Jenn! Try these instead since a dehydrator is not required for them: http://www.therawtarian.com/raw-lemon-bars-recipe

Hi
The recipe says to use unsoaked cashews. But won't those be hard to digest?
The Rawtarian
Jan 25, 2013
hi Melissa, you can soak them if you want but dry them before using. I do not soak in this recipe

What temp are you using on the dehydrator for these cookies?
The Rawtarian
Sep 23, 2012
I usually dehydrate on high for one hour then reduce to 105 degrees for the remaining time

have just popped my first batch into the dryer - made with manderin juice instead, and a full thumb of juiced ginger! Wanting a raw ginger cookie. will let you know how they turn out, although the mixture tasted great!

Yum! Did they turn out well Toni?

Hi, you mention using honey, I am under the impression that these are thought of as vegan cookies, no? I thought honey wasn't considered a vegan product... I'm new at this, so please clarify, thanks!
