Next time I bake cookies, I'm going to try using less coconut oil, to make up for the fact that there's less water in it than in butter. You're not going to believe that this tastes amazing because it's ridiculously easy, but this is my favorite recipe for vegan and raw chocolate chip cookie dough. I like just eating the dough, no need to even form it into cookies. It's got 3 ingredients, takes 5 minutes, and is my go-to snack when I NEED chocolate chip cookie dough: 1 1/2 cups raw cashews 1/8 teaspoon salt 12 large medjool dates, pitted (3/4 cup) 1/2 cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips Place the cashews in a food processor fitted with the S-blade and process until the cashews are broken into pieces. Add the dates and process until the mixture sticks together when you press it between your fingers (can take 30 or so. Stop and start as couple of times to test the texture). Add the chocolate chips and pulse just to incorporate. Stored in a sealed container at room temperature, this keeps for a couple of weeks. I just eat it straight out of the jar when I need something sweet. If any of you try it, let me know what you think!! Jenny ]]> Wed, 15 Dec 2010 17:46:32 -0500
