Raw Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I made these chocolate chip cookies on Sunday and here is a picture of them! They had to stay in the dehydrator over night so Marielies kept them in her dehydrator and brought my half to me last night (Monday) when she came to my yoga class. We followed the recipe from Cafe Gratitude's book Sweet Gratitude. I must say this is one of my favorite raw dessert recipe books! It is chocked full of amazing recipes that will delight your friends! I highly recomend this book for raw desserts! Plus it is full of inspiring beautiful photographs of mouthwatering raw food! Anyways, the cookies are good although they do taste a bit healthy. I would like to continue tweaking the chocolate chip recipe to make one that truly tastes like the real thing but these are pretty darn good I must say :-). I plan on packing some with me on my plane ride up to New York!
Only five days until I leave for New York and then take a bus to Kripalu! My schedule is so paked until then that I am not exactly sure when I will pack but am not to worried about it either! On Friday I am getting together with a friend who wants to learn how to make raw desserts. I think I will have us make a cheeze cake. On Saturday Marielies and I are hoping to have a raw food potluck in piedmont park. Then I leave early Sunday morning. While at Kripalu I will not have a kitchen so I am not sure how many recipes I will be able to post over the summer! I will be documenting my raw food I eat at Kripalu and have heard there are raw food potlucks so maybe if I make some raw friends I will get to experiment in the kitchen a bit.
When I go to New York I am planning on going to Quintessence for lunch and Pure Food and Wine for dinner! I will be taking lots of pictures and posting those too!

Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe:

Cookie batter:
5 cups of almond flour
2 tablespoons of vanilla (powder or liquid)
1 1/4 cup of agave nectar
2 teaspoons of sea salt

Fudge Chunks:
1 cup of cocoa butter
3 vanila beans
1 cup agave syrup
1/2 cup cocoa nibs
1 cup of cocoa powder
3/4 cups of almond butter (I just used almonds)
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Directions: I made the almond flour by putting the almonds in a food processor until they turned into a powder. Then you combine the rest of the ingredients and mix until well combined. Make the fudge chunks by melting the cocoa butter in the dehydrator and then mixing all the rest of the ingredients in the vitamixer. Pour the fudge on a pan lined with wax paper and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Cut up the fudge chunks and then mix them in with the cookie batter. Make into circular shapes and place in the dehydrator at 105 degrees for 24 hours.
