Colorful and healthy Raw Easter Cookies, these cookies have flavors like Strawberry Mint, Berry Vanilla and Carrot Cake!

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!

Colorful and healthy Raw Easter Cookies, these cookies have flavors like Strawberry Mint, Berry Vanilla and Carrot Cake!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 10 hours

Total Time 10 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

Strawberry Mint Cookies

• 1 C . Raw Almonds, Soaked for 1 Hour
• 2/3 C . Strawberries, Stem Trimmed Off
• 1/2 C . Dates, Pitted
• 2 tsp . Fresh Mint Leaves
• Pinch of Sea Salt

Berry Vanilla Cookies

• 1 C . Raw Almonds, Soaked for 1 Hour
• 1/3 C . Blueberries
• 1/3 C . Blackberries
• 1/2 C . Dates, Pitted
• 1/2 tsp . Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Sea Salt

Carrot Cake Cookies

• 1 C . Raw Almonds, Soaked for 1 Hour
• 1/4 C . Dates, Pitted
• 1/4 C . Raisins
• 2 Tbsp . Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
• 2/3 C . Carrots, Grated
• 1/2 tsp . Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Salt

Instructions

1. Each recipe has the same directions, lucky you! Per recipe there are 10 servings/cookies.
2. Whichever recipe you are working on, place all of those ingredients into a food processor with an s-blade.
3. 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.
4. You do not want this to be a smooth paste.
5. Next, take roughly 2 large tablespoons worth of the "dough" and shape them into eggs that are 3/8" thick. Do this onto parchment paper or paraflexx sheets for your dehydrator.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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!
