I love this recipe for raw, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. They taste like the raw cookie dough we aren't supposed to love and eat while we're making "real" cookies... only these are egg-free and completely safe to eat a ton of! Now I'm sharing the recipe with you, for your noshing pleasure.
Recipe for Raw Chocolate Chip Cookies
*2 C nuts (soaked almonds)
*1/2 C dates
*1 tsp vanilla extract
*1/2 tsp sea salt
*1/4 C coconut oil, melted (not in a microwave)
*1/4 C-1/2 C chocolate chips (depending on your love of chocolate)
Directions
1. With a food processor, grind up all above ingredients except the chocolate chips. If you process them for a long time they will taste much more like cookie dough, if you process for less time they will have a nutty consistency which is fun and tasty, too!
2. After processing to desired consistency, drop the chocolate chips into the dough and mix with a spoon. Then pulse 3-4 times to mix it and grind the chips into the mixture.
3. Take a cookie sheet and spread the cookie dough into the pan, using your fingers to press into the corners and flatten into one even, level, layer.
4. Put in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes to an hour to harden.
5. I then took it out and used heart cookie shape cutters but you can roll them into a ball and leave them that way, use another shape, or take the ball and flatten it into a round "cookie". sky's the limit! :) ENJOY!!!
