Raw cookies for a sweet treat!
½ cup walnuts
¼ cup almonds
½ cup pitted dates
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 sprinkle cinnamon
1 pinch raisins
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon raw honey
Toss walnuts, almonds in food processor to get a good chop. I like it as fine as possible. Add dates, raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, and water. Process until dates are well chopped, and the water has made the mixure a little gooey. Press and form into 1 inch balls and place on a plate. Drizzle raw honey over cookies and refrigerate to set. Enjoy!
I've never used agave. I figured the honey would help hold everything together while adding sweetness
replacing the honey with agave syrup - would that work just as well?
also, I've seen a version that uses a vanilla bean instead. I'm sure that would taste better...
yes, definitely. I added the cinnamon after trying it without, and the raisins are there for a little extra squish, but the dates alone are good.
Sounds good - would they be good without the cinnamon and raisins? My son has been wanting to make vanilla cookies with honey on top! :)
