Aunt Ivy’s Raw Macadamia And Goji Berry Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup raw macadamia nuts
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– 1/2 cup goji berries
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, pulse the macadamia nuts until finely chopped, but not turned into butter-like consistency.
2. Add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and goji berries to the processor. Pulse a few more times until well combined and the mixture has a coarse texture.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients in the food processor. Pulse a few times until everything is evenly mixed and starts to clump together, forming a dough-like texture.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form small balls of cookie dough and flatten them slightly onto the baking sheet.
6. Place the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
7. Once firm, these raw macadamia and goji berry cookies are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
