I tried many recipes raw cookies over the years, but I have not found many that were good. Usually cake biscuits were not sweet enough. Certainly I do not want I ate when we used to develop sugar and fat.
I did some experimenting and found the cookie base was the problem. I experimented with different fruits, nuts and seeds and came up with a combination that worked and stay together. When I serve these cookies, we do not know what does not cook. They are raw, live, healthy and easy to make. With all the nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, etc. Not harmful, fat or sugar. Nothing but goodness.
For this free easy-grossing, you have a dehydrator. Usually, the Excalibur is used by raw food chefs, but there are others. Dehydrators with the rear fan are the best, but everything is going to work, keep the very low temperature.
Equipment: A dewatering processor and power supply is required.
Now for the raw fruit cookie recipe:
Ingredients, soaked sunflower seeds, Jonagold apples, bananas, Medjool dates, walnuts, raisins, vanilla and cinnamon
You'll need to soak 2 cups of sunflower seeds overnight, drain and rinse. Set aside for a while to sprout - up to 2 hours or so. Seeds get bitter if soaked a long time.
Best Raw Cookie Recipe
2 cups sunflower seeds, soaked
2 Jonagold apples or other sweet apples, but Jonagold work best
2 ripe organic bananas
4 Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup walnuts
1 cup raisins
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
Place the walnuts in the food processor and process and pulse until you have partly very small chunks and partly very fine granular pieces. Empty food processor and set aside.
Place in the food processor: the cored Jonagold apples with peel on, bananas, pitted dates, raisins. Mix together, but not too long. Then add the walnuts and lightly mix. Then slowly add the soaked, rinsed and drained sunflower seeds along with the vanilla and cinnamon. Mix together until mixed but not too long.
Using a spring-action ice cream scoop place the cookie mixture on teflex sheets and press down lightly until about 1/2 inch thick or so.
You'll need 2-3 teflex sheets depending on the size of your cookie.
Place in the dehydrator at about 95 to 105 degrees or so for about 6 hours and then turn over by using another teflex sheet and tray on top and flipping over. Pull sheet back. Dehydrate for several more hours - at least 8 hours or so. I like them a little soft. If too soft, then dehydrate longer. Store in airtight jar in the refrigerator. Ummmm- eat!
