Cranberry Pecan Raw Cookies

The dry base:

1 cup oatmeal
1 cup pecans
I/2 cup coconut flakes
2 tbs maca
1/4 cup flax meal
1 tbs cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

To this add:
20 dried dates - pitted
1 cup fresh cranberries
(if you like it tart, add more)
honey to taste

remember cranberries are tart-so you might want to offset this with agave as well, to taste. Personally, I like the tart taste.

Using the fresh berries, these are wetter than if you would be if using dried.

Coating;
1 cup pecans
1/2 c coconut
grind coarse

Make the dough into balls and then roll them in the coating and flatten. This will help with some of the added moisture if you used fresh cranberries.

You can put these in the dehydrator for 5 hours, or you can use dried cranberries and no dehydrator. AND if you live in Utah or Arizona-who needs a dehydrator! Leave them out overnight...
enjoy!
