Raw Cowboy Cookies

YeeeHaaa...the raw holiday cookie of the week is the awesome Cowboy Cookie. The recipe is adapted from this one on gone raw by 3crows. Thank you to 3 crows for the wonderful recipe!

Raw Cowboy Cookies

1 cup oat flour, made from ground oat groats, sprouted and dehydrated if desired.
1/2 cup cashew flour, made from ground cashews, soaked and dehydrated if desired.
1/4 cup dried shredded coconut
2 tablespoons melted cacao butter, measure after melting
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons yacon syrup, or date paste/syrup made from blended soaked dates
1 tablespoon agave
1/4 of a vanilla bean, seeds only or 1/2 tsp. extract
1/4 cup raw chocolate chips or chunks
1/4 cup chopped pecans, or other nut of choice
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch of salt

1. Combine oat flour, cashew flour, coconut, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.

2. Add melted oils, yacon, agave, and vanilla, and mix well.

3. Stir in chocolate and nuts. I reserve a little of each to press into top of cookies after shaping.

4. Shape into cookies, top with reserved nuts and chocolate if desired and chill.
I made one dozen two inch cookies from this recipe.

I had some chunks of my raw chocolate recipe that I used today, but if you have the time, pipe out some chips:)

The first time I made these cookies, I created a nutmilk to go with it . Here is the recipe:

Cinnamon Pecan Milk

a lovely milk, warm and spiced

Ingredients:
½ cup pecans, soaked if you like:)
12 ounce fresh water, warmed if it is cold out!
3 pitted medjool dates, soaked until soft
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation:
1. Place all ingredients in blender, and blend until creamy.

2. Strain through nut milk bag. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like.

I may leave this combo out for Santa this year;)
