Raw Chocolate Chip Cookies

So since I made raw chocolate I thought I would go ahead and make the raw chocolate cookies, since the boys were drooling over the page. These were very easy I think 10 minutes tops and they were in the dehydrator. I can't wait for the boys to try them. Ethan cleaned the bowl for me and said they were the best cookie I ever made?

2 1/2 cups fine cashew flour (I used almond flour)
1 3/4 cups oat flour (I used bob's red mill)
1/2 cup raw cocao powder
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup raw chocolate chips (I skipped this)

Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips in a medium sized bowl by hand. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips. Form into 3-inch cookies and press a few extra chocolate chips into the top of each cookie. Dehydrate on screens overnight at 118 degrees. Yield 22-24.

Raw Chocolate

So I made this recipe awhile back and I had a 3 year old eat every bite of it. He would NOT share one bite. I have to say I have been loving this book by Matthew Kenney I have to get my hands on the rest of his books they are amazing. But this recipe came from everyday raw.

Now I do not have a vitamix, although I dream nightly about having a vitamix. I was able to mix this by hand.

Well this is why you need a vitamix.

This is after lots of mixing.

Now I roll into a ball and squish to make flat disks. If you want to go to the trouble of making chocolate chips, well more power to you. I like to crumble it up through for cookies.

By Mattew Kenney

1 3/4 cups cashews soaked for 1-2 hours (honestly I use sun butter)

1/2 teaspoon salt.

Place all ingredients in a Vita-Mix until smooth. Place in piping bag and pipe chocolate chips onto Teflex sheet. Dehydrate overnight at 118 degrees. Keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container until ready to use. (did I mention I have three kids? These don't make it to the fridge)
