Chocolate Mint Raw Vegan Cookies
These chocolate mint raw vegan cookies are bit-sized pieces of heaven. They're hard to stop eating, and are gluten-free, grain-free, and paleo-friendly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons melted virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon natural peppermint extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
Instructions
-
Throw all of the ingredients into a food processor fitted with the s blade, and and pulse until the mixture forms a ball.
-
Place the mixture between two pieces of parchment paper and with a rolling pin, flatten the batter into an even 1/4-inch layer.
-
Using a small 1-inch round cookie cutter (or the top of a shot glass), cut the batter into small circles. You should have about 48 small bite-sized cookies.
-
Place the cookies on mesh dehydrator sheets, and dehydrate at 115 degrees for about 48 hours until dry. Store in a sealed container in the fridge. (Because of the coconut oil, the cookies will melt slightly at room temperature.)
Recipe Notes
*If you don't have a dehydrator, pre-heat your oven to 300°F (150°C), placing the cookies in, closing the oven door, turning the oven off, and allow the cookies to bake in the oven until it's completely cooled.

These were amazing! They taste like Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies! Even my mom who does not understand my vegan, raw, and gluten free lifestyle thought they were great! For anyone who doesn’t use like to use agave, (like me), you can substitute coconut nectar and it still tastes amazing!
