Kitchen Sink Raw Super Easy Cookies
Sometimes I just want a bite of something sweet. But I still want it to be healthy, quick and easy. People call these “kitchen sink” cookies (everything but the kitchen sink) or “dump” cookies (you just dump stuff in them), but what ever you want to call them, they are great easy cookies. Requiring no dehydrator or equipment other than a bowl, spoon and measuring cups to make, they are a fast way to throw together a snack that satisfies both your sweet tooth and your nutritional needs.
Super Easy Kitchen Sink Cookies recipe at Rawmazing.com
I started with a ganach base made with a little more coconut oil for setting up. Then the fun happens. You just throw in your favorite ingredients. I picked pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and sunflower seeds for protein and nutrients, then threw in raw oats and coconut for more nutrients and texture. I love the addition of dried fruit and used golden raisins. You easily could substitute with goji berries or dried cranberries.
Have fun and go wild with your choices!

There may be some agave nectars that are made that way but the good organic raw ones are made from the sap of the agave plant and reduced under low heat with natural enzymes. Not like that article states. I have done extensive research on this, have found agave that I trust so I use it. You do not need to if you do not wish to. I feel that articles like that damage the people who are working extremely hard to produce a healthy, quality product.

I have written about how I feel about agave here: http://www.rawmazing.com/agave-hero-or-villain/. But as you noticed in the recipe, it says agave nectar or sweetener of choice. You can use something else if you wish. I use an agave that I trust and still feel confident in the product.

Hi, I am confusing about this “Agave Nectar” as recently I been told it is “bad”…. Thanks.

I just made these and they are fantastic! Ganache turned out perfect. Anna- maybe try sifting the cacao powder?
