Raw Energy Cookies

  Raw Energy Cookies

10 count

• 1 cup of raw pecans (soaked overnight)
• 1 cup of raw walnuts (or any of your favourite nuts) -soaked
• 1/2  cup of Madjool dates
• 1/4 cup of Goji berries (or dried fruit of your choice) I soak my Goji’s for about 1/2 an hour
• pinch of all spice or cinnamon
• pinch of raw salt

Drain, rinse and dry the nuts with paper towel – place all of your ingredients in a high speed blender or processor – pulse several times and scrape down the sides a couple of times to get an even mix, then continue to process until the mix is sticking together.

Place on your board and form your shapes – you can roll out between pieces of wax paper and use cutters or roll into small balls, whatever you like. 

At this point I like to put mine in my dehydrator for a little while, about 1/2 hour just because I like them a little more like biscuits than chewy, but it is not necessary, you can just place in the fridge while you prepare your chocolate topping.

No Dehydrator ?

You can put your oven on while making these and then turn off – put your Raw Energy Cookies in aWarm oven just for a little while. 

Choc Coating

I decided to use a chocolate icing/frosting – if you want more of a biscuit chocolate coating, Just melt some raw choc in a bain marie and add agave to taste and coat your cookies.

Choc Frosting

• 1/2  avocado
• 2 tsp cacao powder or a few pieces of melted 90% chocolate
• 2 tbsp agave
• 1 tsp vanilla extract *optional
• pinch salt
• pinch cinnamon * optional

If using chocolate, melt in a Bain Marie and add to other ingredients, otherwise add all ingredients to blender or mixer, I used a small blender for this - whiz up until smooth and spread on your Raw Energy Cookies that’s it!

Place your raw energy cookies in the fridge for an hour or so and Voilà!

Cacao is an awesome super food – the ultimate happy food – and Avocado - a complete food and completely misunderstood – it should be labelled a super food – oh, and it makes our chocolate frosting very smooth and creamy. Blueberries – amazing antioxidants.
