Raw Chocolate Chip Cookies

My favorite treat for some years was Pillsbury chocolate chunk cookies. I would always volunteer to make them so that I could eat the batter while I chopped up the cookies – I would then be too sick to eat the cooked ones…  As you can imagine, Pillsbury cookies are not part of the clean eating plan, so I’ve had to find a healthier, but still tasty, treat replacement.   This recipe is easy to make, it requires no baking and it is also gluten-free and vegan.

 

 

 

 

Dough:
- 1 3/4 cups raw cashews
- 3/4 cup raw oats
- 1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-1/4 cup coconut oil

Chocolate chips:
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup cocoa powder (you can also use half cocoa, half carob powder)
- 4 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

Place all dough ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix. I like the cashews and oats to be ground up, almost like flour, maybe slightly chunkier.


Place all ingredients for the chocolate chips in a bowl. Mix well.  Roll the dough out with a dough roller on parchment paper.  Place the chocolate in freezer for 30 minutes.  Once done, cut the chocolate into chunks – you can use a knife or a pastry slicer.

 


Once the chocolate chips are ready, mix the chips into the dough.  I like to make the cookies into balls, but you can flatten them or form them into whatever shape you like.  Once done, place cookies in fridge to harden for about 25 minutes.  I usually place them in a baggy because I like to freeze them later – it’s part of my attempt to not eat them all and have SOME will power!

I hope you enjoy these cookies.  If you have any feedback or have a clean cookie recipe, please share!
