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 completely agree with Katy. Things that can be made in big batches and stored relatively easily are a saviour. I know, I know, if you want a snack there’s always nuts and fruit for instant gratification, but sometimes I really just want a MADE food. This sort of recipe makes the people who normally scoff at the raw diet jealous.

just a footnote to my non conforming cookies 🙂 when i could not get them to form i put them in a bowl and set them in the frig. about an hour later i can hear my husband in the kitchen eating away. when i asked what he was eating he said with a satisfying tone in his voice i put the kitchen sink on some yogurt and it’s rawsome! this has become a staple sweet treat, thank you and thank goodness for happy mishaps.

Made these today… all I have to say is WOW! My one problem with the raw diet is my need to snack (not a real need of course) and these satisfy any craving and are SO easy! I can’t wait to bring a batch to school with me so my cohorts can try them and marvel at my raw “diet” 😀

I just made these and they are fantastic. I didn’t have any trouble getting them to hold together….just like in the picture. But I made I followed the recipe closely and didn’t let the mixture start to harden too much!

Did you use the chia seeds as a gel or dry? Thank you. I can’t wait to try them, as always your recipes are so good.

The chia seeds are used dry. Cheers!

Love the taste of these and the ease of making them. But they were too loose & didn’t form into balls. Previously you mentioned they may have cooled off. Was the ganache supposed to be cooked? My coconut oil was already at room temp & melted. Tasted good out of the bowl!
Susan wrote on February 12, 2012
No the ganache does not need to be cooked…this is a raw site, after all… 🙂 BUT the coconut oil does need to start in a liquid, not just soft.

It may have cooled off too much. Warm it up and form away.
