Kitchen Sink Raw Super Easy Cookies
Sometimes I just want a bite of something sweet. But I still want it to be healthy, quick and easy. People call these “kitchen sink” cookies (everything but the kitchen sink) or “dump” cookies (you just dump stuff in them), but what ever you want to call them, they are great easy cookies. Requiring no dehydrator or equipment other than a bowl, spoon and measuring cups to make, they are a fast way to throw together a snack that satisfies both your sweet tooth and your nutritional needs.
Super Easy Kitchen Sink Cookies recipe at Rawmazing.com
I started with a ganach base made with a little more coconut oil for setting up. Then the fun happens. You just throw in your favorite ingredients. I picked pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and sunflower seeds for protein and nutrients, then threw in raw oats and coconut for more nutrients and texture. I love the addition of dried fruit and used golden raisins. You easily could substitute with goji berries or dried cranberries.
Have fun and go wild with your choices!

Do you have to soak the seeds/nuts then dehydrate them? Is there a reason for doing this? I am new to the raw way of life-But very interested in it!

Hi Susan,
These look amazing! I really would like to try them :). But need you advise first: I tried to make your ganache a couple of times, but for whatever reason it never becomes smooth, it stays grainy (like you have tons of really tiny sand particles). I followed the recipe exactly. Where do I go wrong? Does it have do with using raw cacao? Please help!! Thanks a lot!!

Anna, Honestly, I have never had that problem and I have made dozens of batches. When things get grainy, one thing you need to make sure is that no moisture has been introduced. Even a drop of water can cause problems. Also, is your coconut oil completely liquid and are you using a whisk? I would check and see if your coconut oil has a grainy consistency. Other than that, I am stumped.

Susan, do you soak your seeds?
Susan wrote on February 7, 2012
Most of the time I soak and dehydrate as soon as I get them so they are ready to go when I need them. Cheers!

Susan, This looks great…I’m going to try it. What brand of raw flaked oats do you use? And do you buy them online?
Susan wrote on February 7, 2012
I get my raw, flaked oats from Sunrise Flour Mill. There is a link to them in the right sidebar.

I didn’t think raw oats were digestible. Best to stick with gluten-free version.

Tara, these are raw, flaked oats. I eat them all the time and love them. No problems digesting. You can also soak your oats for 12 hours and dehydrate if you wish. You can also find certified gluten free oats. 🙂
