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!

I made the cookies tonight; they were really good. I used a combo of figs and apricots I had whirled in the food processor for some banana bread that I had leftover in place of the sunflower seeds and raisins. Also Susan I made your chocolate mousse last week: I’ve been on a chocolate binge lately. Fantastico! Keep up the creativity and passion you infuse into all of your recipes. Andrea

Hey Susan, this looks so easy I am surely giving it a try. I love sweet stuff and much nicer when its made of healthy stuff and raw.

hi
These tasted great. I used buckwheat crispies (soaked & dehydrated buckwheat groats) in place of the oats and I love the crispness they add. Used dried cherries but I think raisins would be better.
Susan, do you refridgerate your soaked/dehydrated seeds and nuts?
thanks

Love the crispies idea! I will try that. It depends on the time of year. If it is summer and more humid, I do. In the winter, no. BUT….I will say, I have had almonds mould on me so you need to be careful to make sure you get them really dry.

YUM!!! When my next chocolate craving strikes, I’m whipping up a batch of these! A note to Kim. When I first discovered the raw lifestyle a few years ago, I did not have a dehydrator so I did not bother soaking the nuts and seeds that I was using. After a few weeks, I started breaking out really bad and getting little sores on my arms. When I stopped eating nuts and seeds that had not been soaked, my symptoms went away. After various experimentations, I have realized that these skins problems are a sign that I am eating things that my body can’t digest very well. Hope this helps you in your journey!
Cheers,
Nicki

I’ve tried again and again to use raw oats…soaking and rinsing and dehydrating them etc, but they always have a very bitter disgusting unedible flavor. Any suggestions? Thanks

Ellen…you need to source different oats. I have never had that problem with them. 🙂
