Loved hearing everyone’s guesses on what Lori was holding.
We do not have a recipe inspiration today, but instead we are participating in a Raw Cookie Sandwich Challenge. We love challenges when we have the time for them, we have done a raw ice cream challenge before and had fun doing it!
The lovely Lisa and Nicole are hosting a raw cookie sandwich challenge, cookie sandwiches are somethings we love ourselves.…Carob cookie sandwich, brownie sandwich, mallomars, and smores
um, ya we live for dessert
Pure2raw recipe: Macadamia Nut Butter Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich (gluten-free, vegan, raw)
Ingredients:
Cookies:
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (or any nut of choice)
- 1/4 cup lucuma (if do not have use more coconut or seed/nut flour)
- 1 tbsp vanilla (we use an alcohol free so adjust to taste)
- 2 -3 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp water (only if needed)
- 1 -2 tbsp cacao nibs or chocolate chips
Place all dry ingredients into a food processor grind into flour. Then add in the wet ingredients. Adjust the sweetness to taste, as we used little so our cookies not very sweet.
Roll cookie dough out and cut into circles using a cookie cutter. Than place your cookies in fridge or freezer to set, no dehydration needed!
Green Mint Filling:
- 1 avocado
- 1/3 cup irish moss (or coconut butter)
- 1 tsp mint extract
- 1 tbsp sunflower lecithin (optional)
- 3-4 tbsp maple or agave
- a few leaves of fresh mint
Place all filling ingredients into a blender and blend to smooth. Takes some time. Again adjust sweetness to taste.
Mac-nut butter
- 1 1/2 cups soaked macadamia nuts
- about 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- splash of vanilla extract
Place ingredients into blender and blend till smooth. Will get thick and a little hard to blend, take breaks. But it will get there. We honestly feel in love with this nut butter more than we thought. Really happy with the results.
These raw cookies made about 8 circles. The mint filling and mac-nut make a lot, so you can double the cookies or save the fillings for another time. Can freeze.
These mac-n-mint cookie sandwiches turned out to be a little messy…but messy is good, right?
Another great thing about these cookies are that they do not have to be dehydrated! We wanted a cookie that was soft at room temperature. We did place them in the freezer to get a little hard for us to build the sandwich. This raw cookie sandwich is great cold or room temperature.
I think I can safely say this is the ultimate cookie sandwich…haha well if you like a more sweet and savory dessert like Lori and I do.
Twins Question: What would be your ultimate cookie sandwich combo?

thanks Anna we had fun with this recipe
Yum, these look amazing! You girls are torturing me over here on my no-sugar diet… thanks a lot.
sorry Megan haha
These look amazing! I love how you always use ingredients that I either already have or can get really easily!
Yum
glad to help Lisa!!!
You both make everything look so incredibly delicious! Like I want to reach my hand into the screen and grab it. And the composition of the photos- oh you know I love it all!
These look wonderful. Love the green filling (avos!) and the easy cookie ingredients. I think I may experiment with these today. Fun and easy stuff here. And I really like how they could be ice creamy or travelable(ish).
thanks Lori! We worked hard on the photos, still trying to figure the camera LOL
Wow amazing! the photos are wonderful too!
Thanks Lindsay!
YUM!!! So did you get the round circles after the “dough” set I guess?? Thanks!!!
We actually rolled out the dough and cut into circles using a cookie cutter (I will update the post) and than set in fridge.
Oh YUM! Not only do they sound amazing they look amazing!
thanks Sarena
they were yummy too haha
if I could reach through the computer, I would!! wow, great recipe ladies.
Lindsay next time we will send you one
This is brilliant, your photos are making me really want a cookie sandwich! I’m a big fan of almond butter s’mores.
Or basically anything with chocolate and nuts.
Rachel sounds delicious!
oh my goodness, those look amazing!!
I would love a gingersnap cookie with some sort of chocolate cream filling. Mmmm….
Teri that sounds heavenly. Something we would love… umm guess we better make those haha
Wow, these look absolutely perfect! Mine would probably be mint chocolate.
Holy Cow!! That is all I have to say. It all looks delish.
I could never make those. Despite my culinary training at one of the best culinary schools, I was trainged with pure butter and this thing called white flour. The second I try anything “raw” I fail! I need you guys to teach me how to make this and everything else!
(PS my first attempt at make socca today. shaking in my boots!)
Oh Eden we would love to cook and uncook with you in the kitchen
and you could make these…yay for socca. Hope you like it!
HA! I knew it! Looks fabulous, girls
oh my word. if you sell these i will buy some i promise! this looks insane! perfect flavor combos for me!
aww thanks girl! wish we could sell them and ship them…maybe one day!
Wow! Your step-by-step photos are absolutely beautiful. What an amazing creation. Thank you for participating in the challenge!
xoxo
Thank you Lisa for doing the challenge, we had fun!
Seriously. Unbelievable! I am drooling big time, girls!!!
Am I mistaken or are these amazing cookies also gluten-free? Bravo for this great recipe!
They are gluten free, all our recipes are gluten free! Thanks
I just found out my oven at my summer house can go down to 110 or lower, so I can dehydrate!! I am soo excited
I’ll have to look up your other recipes. Do you have any dehydrated flat bread recipes?
Yes Meagan we have raw pepper bread here http://www.pure2raw.com/2011/03/gluten-free-raw-pepper-sunflower-bread-recipe/
I wish I could take a bite of one of these right now. They look so good! I love all your photos of the process, too… your photos are always gorgeous. Thanks for participating in the Raw Ice Cream Sandwich Challenge!
Wow these look fab! I love, love, LOVE raw desserts! I really wish that raw nuts weren’t so pricey by me! I go through them too fast!
Ummm, yeah – these sound pretty flippin’ amazing! Love the layering as well!
Thank you so much Callie!
They’re so cute. Love the step-by-step photos
This is one of the absolute coolest healthy website I’ve found! You girls ROCK! I can’t wait to get home and try some of your recipes!!
Hi!
The irish moss in the green filling is irish moss paste or just soaked irish moss?
Starting to experiment with irish moss and I came across your recipe that I have to try now!!!
Thanks!
Alex it is irish moss paste.
