The adventures in dehydrator “cooking” continued yesterday with a batch of raw chocolate chip cookies using a recipe from Living on Live Food by Alissa Cohen.
After getting the batter on to the tray, I had a hard time putting the “chocolate chips” on because it was just as loose as the cookie batter. The first tray of cookies are more like chocolate chunk, so being the perfectionist that I am, I made a makeshift piping bag out of a plastic baggie and put some real chocolate chips on the second tray.
Hard at work…
And into the dehydrator they went for a good 18 hours! I must say, you have to have lots of patience to make raw food in the dehydrator. I kept checking on these guys every hour hoping they would be done. But that’s the good thing about this raw food thing…you can eat the cookie dough without a worry! And I did…
Naturally, after waiting all night, I had cookies for breakfast!
They were delicious! Very soft and chewy. One of the main ingredients is dried apricots and you can definitely taste them which is great because I love them. And I didn’t feel bad about eating “cookies” for breakfast because all that’s in these are dried fruit and nuts! Yum!
We are having raw pizza at some point today…stay tuned!

HOLY YUM-TASTIC-NESS!
When I used to have “Cookies for breakfast,” it was Cookie Crisp cereal, haha :-D I want those!!
Those cookies sound sooo yummy! I bet they made a great breakfast. I’m not sure if I’d have the patience to wait 18 hours for my cookies…but like you said, you can eat the dough! I can’t wait to see your raw pizza!
yummy!! C is for Cookie :) Kind of like the Green Monster but those are yummy Cookie Monsters!
Yum! I’ve never tried dehydratying my “raw” cookies…it probably makes them seem more cookie-like. They look great!
girlfriend those look incredible! you have got some patience, Miss Courtney.. i never would’ve been able to put put on all those chocolate chips then wait 18 hours.. but they look like they were well worth the wait.. enjoy :)
lovelovelove!
Oooo these looks great – so cool!! Gosh, I want a dehydrator…
Totally off topic, but… I used your recipe and made… MY FIRST GREEN MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know if I’d be able to wait 18 hours for my cookies to be done. I am not that patient!
these cookies look really really good!! i haven’t baked in awhile, but this makes me want to pick it up again… YUM!
That sounds so good!!! I had normal chocolate chip cookies but these seem like they would be funner to make :) Definitely requires patience. Hmm this is another kitchen gadget to add to my wishlist.
Those sound and look delish! Can’t wait to check out the raw pizza post later!!

Oh! I bought those Mr. Krackers crackers and they are sooooo good!
Looks good! It’s so neat to see raw COOKIES :) Yum. I definitely want to try making some!
Looks delicious! I love how carefully you put the chips on the cookies.
Lovely raw cookies! Sounds like using a dehydrator requires planning and patience. The cookies look like they were worth the wait.
Look at you and your patience and hardwork! They look beautiful and RAW! yaaayyy!!
Those “cookies” look unbelievable….you are good!!
I’m so jealous…those look AMAZING!!!
Whoa, I can’t believe how good those look. They almost look like play food. Cookie pizza or something! Did all the sweetness in these come from fruit or was there another kind of sweetener (agave, sugar, etc)?
gutenmegan,
It’s all from the fruit! I think the sweetness gets concentrated in the dehydrator. They were VERY sweet!
Wow those look completely amazing!!! Excellent job girl!
Those cookies look so good!
seriously WOW.
you mightcould have convinced me to be more raw!
(sits and waits for pizza :))
Those are awesome!! They look like little cartoon cookies, haha. How much did your dehydrator cost??
