Raw lemon cookie recipe

Posted by Laura-Jane On October - 27 - 2009

Raw lemon coconut cookiesRaw lemon cookie recipes were on the top of my list of recipes to make when I recently received my new dehydrator.

Once again, this is a delightfully simple recipe that only contains four ingredients: cashews,  unsweetened coconut, a lemon, and a sweetener like honey or agave nectar.

These cookies have a sweet, simple, creamy flavour and you’ll be amazed at how much lemon flavour comes from just one lemon. This is a small recipe, which is perfect for sampling. Try a small batch and see how you like these raw lemon coconut cookies.

I love their simple, satisfying sweet lemony flavour.

Raw lemon cookie recipe
Recipe from RowanC

  • 1 cup cashews (unsoaked)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes
  • The juice of one medium lemon
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar

Process the cashews in a food processer until they resemble coarse flour.

Add the coconut and process again until very well mixed.

Add the lemon and the sweetener. Process again until resembling dough. (If it’s a bit too wet, add more coconut. If it’s a bit dry, add a tiny bit of water.)

Shape into cookies and dehydrate for 8 hours for a nice, moist cookie. Eat right away and refrigerate leftovers. Dehydrate for longer if you want to store them for a longer shelf life.

    If you try them, be sure to tell me what you think! I just love them. And they’re pretty easy!

    Do you have a dehydrator? Even if you don’t, I bet you could roll these into balls and refrigerate them. They’d still be good.

  4. Wow. Those lemon cookies look delicious! I have a dehydrator, so I’ll definitely be making these as soon as I stock up on cashews again!

    Hey there! I wanted to thank you for sharing your recipe! I made it yesterday and added cinnamon on top – so yummy. Have you ever made them with vanilla extract in them? I think that would be good.
