Raw Vegan Oreo Cookies

I found this on Gone Raw. I had been dreaming about making it for sometime and finally decided to treat myself on Memorial Day. Very good, a much healthier version of a classic cookie! (Cook time is dehydrator time) More recipes like this one at: www.bellaraw.blogspot.com

• Ready In: 5 hrs 25 mins
• Serves: 5
• Yields: 10 cookies

Ingredients

• For the Cookie

• 1  cup  ground nuts (I used almonds)
• 1⁄4 cup  shredded coconut
• 4  dates, Pitted
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2  tablespoons  Agave
• 1⁄3 cup  cacao, powder (I mixed equal parts cacao and carob for a slightly less intense taste)

• For the Oreo Filling

• 2⁄3 cup coconut butter
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2  tablespoons tahini
• 1  tablespoon  Agave

Directions

1. For the Cookie: Blend the ingredients in a blender until it becomes dough-like and sticks together. Flatten out dough and cut out round shapes. You may want to coat your hands or whatever cookie cutter you are using in some nut flour to prevent it from sticking. Place cookies in dehydrator and dehydrate at 105 degrees until crispy, about 4-5 hours.
2. For the Filling: Blend ingredients in a small bowl. Spread on half of the cookies, cover with the remaining cookies, and place in the fridge to harden, about 10-15 minutes. Serve with almond milk. YUM!
