5 Minute Raw Power Cookies

We just made cookies in under 5 minutes!... Notice how I said 'made' not baked. They are Raw. Vegan. Gluten free. Almond butter cookies. The first time around I got the measurements wrong, so we made them again and our version was definitely tastier. Sometimes mistakes are serendipitous. Here's the original recipe and here's ours:

Raw Vegan Gluten Free Almond Butter Cookies

2/3 C almond butter (I used almond/hazelnut butter)

1 C almond flour
1/2 C ground flax seeds
1/4 C shredded, unsweetened coconut
2 tbsp agave nectar
2 tbsp pure maple syrup (almost raw)
1 tbsp coconut oil

Mix everything together in a medium bowl. Roll into balls and enjoy.

Add cocoa nibs on top for extra sweetness. The additions are endless: chocolate chips, extra coconut, oats, honey, protein powder, or substitute another kind of butter, like peanut butter or cashew butter.

Vegan Raspberry Chip Cookies

They taste just like regular cookies!

These are an amazing alternative to chocolate chip cookies. This recipe was so good that I am going to experiment with other types of cookies with this recipe as the base (like oatmeal raisin, sugar cookies, etc.)

oops, I ate one

Vegan Raspberry Chip Cookies

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2/3 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup unsweetened, plain soy milk
• 1 tbsp tapioca flour
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cups chocolate chip
• 3/4 cups raspberry "tidbits" (or any flavor chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc. you like) 

The only thing that isn't great about this recipe is the dough- it's oily and strange, I recommend waiting until they're baked ;)
