Make these simple raw cookies to take to lunch with you or have on hand with that afternoon cup of tea. One of the best things about raw food is it is guiltless. You can have that sweet treat because there is no processed sugar and no dairy or wheat.
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup walnuts (if you use almonds, soak them. I don't like to soak walnuts, but that's up to you)
15-20 soaked dates, (drain and reserve the water)
1/2 cup candied ginger slices (I like to use the candied ginger, but you can certainly use fresh ginger)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 Tbs maca
2 Tbs ground flax meal
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Into the food processor put all the ingredients, except the date water. Grind until it forms a nice dough, coarse, but sticks together. IF it doesn't, add a tsp of the date water at a time unitl the mixture will hold it's shape. Remove and form into cookies. You can roll into balls, or I use my 1 TBS measuring spoon to form the cookies.
I just bought a rubber candy mold from Michael' s that makes square shapes. You can fill the mold and then put in the fridge for awhile so the are firm.
Decorate the top with a sliver of ginger and a sprinkle of cinnamon! You do not need to use the dehydrator for these.
