It has been a while since I've done a raw recipe, and what better way to usher in the new season than with some easy-to-make, fruity, raw cookies? I have to admit, there are some ingredients that aren't completely raw; such as vanilla extract and store-bought raisins, but they're nearly there! 
Also, here is some surprise news that I've been waiting to share with you, and now is the time. In January, I mentioned that I was working on a large project that I was very excited about; no, it's not a cookbook of my own, BUT it is someone else's. You may have heard of her and her brand Happy Herbivore. 🙂 I was fortunate enough to take a majority of the pictures in her newest cookbook, "Happy Herbivore Light & Fit
"! The book will be officially on the market in the fall, but is available for pre-order now. I am so, so elated about having my work published, and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.
Now, that we've got that covered, I can tell you about these tasty and festive raw easter cookies. I shaped them like eggs for the sake of Easter and having them in a basket, but flower shapes would be great, too! Maybe daisies or tulips? Each cookie has minimal ingredients in it and really couldn't be easier to make and/or eat. 😉 I used a dehydrator to keep these as raw as I could, but if you don't have one, you can bake these on a low-temp. setting in your oven for a couple of hours.
All of the flavors are fresh and fun: Strawberry Mint, Berry Vanilla and Pseudo-Carrot Cake Cookies. I even tested these flavors out on my omnivore parents and got their approval. Not really necessary, but always appreciated. These recipes also work if you want to make Lara Bar-like snack bars, for on the go!

Ingredients
Strawberry Mint Cookies
- 1 C . Raw Almonds, Soaked for 1 Hour
- ⅔ C . Strawberries, Stem Trimmed Off
- ½ C . Dates, Pitted
- 2 teaspoon . Fresh Mint Leaves
- Pinch of Sea Salt
Berry Vanilla Cookies
- 1 C . Raw Almonds, Soaked for 1 Hour
- ⅓ C . Blueberries
- ⅓ C . Blackberries
- ½ C . Dates, Pitted
- ½ teaspoon . Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Sea Salt
Carrot Cake Cookies
- 1 C . Raw Almonds, Soaked for 1 Hour
- ¼ C . Dates, Pitted
- ¼ C . Raisins
- 2 tablespoon . Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- ⅔ C . Carrots, Grated
- ½ teaspoon . Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Each recipe has the same directions, lucky you! Per recipe there are 10 servings/cookies.
- Whichever recipe you are working on, place all of those ingredients into a food processor with an s-blade.
- Pulse or run it until the ingredients start clumping together and creating a dough. You may need to scrape down the sides a couple of times to get an even texture.
- You do not want this to be a smooth paste.
- Next, take roughly 2 large tablespoons worth of the "dough" and shape them into eggs that are ⅜" thick. Do this onto parchment paper or paraflexx sheets for your dehydrator.
- Once all of the dough is used, place the cookies in the dehydrator and set the temperature to 115ºF. Dehydrate for 5 hours, then carefully peel them off of their sheet and turn them over onto the mesh tray.
- Dehydrate for another 5 hours, or until the cookie is to your desired consistency. I like my raw cookies pretty dry, so I dehydrated them for around 12 hours, total.
- Then serve!
Notes
If your dates are dried out and firm, soak them for 20 minutes before making the recipe.

Of course, the color is a bit prettier before they are dehydrated, but these raw easter cookies still taste great and I like the cute shape. Enjoy your week, everyone!
