Raw Christmas Cookies


By Spoonful of Sugar Free (Visit website)



Hello everybody! Christmas is only four days away, so that means it is time to bake Christmas cookies!


Or should I saw it is time to “unbake” Christmas cookies?


Raw Cookies and a glass of almond milk for Santa! Santa might be losing some of his belly this year...


Santa Clause will love these little gems, and so will all of your friends and family members! I am making a huge batch to give to close friends.


This picture is stolen from Katie...Sorry, Katie, but your picture is just too cute! Also, I ate all of my cookies before pictures were taken, and then I ran out of almonds to make more :(


Raw Gingerbread Men or Ginger Snaps



5 dates
1 cup almonds
1/4 tsp ground or minced ginger (fresh or powdered)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
pinch of salt

Place all in a food processor or strong blender and blend until smooth. I usually don’t measure the ingredients and just taste test until I find the right flavor, so feel free to add more or less of what I stated above. Shape the dough into cookies or roll out on parchment paper and stamp gingerbread men out. I find that it is easier to work with the dough when it is chilled, so you may want to refrigerate the dough for ten minutes before shaping it. I also think it tastes better chilled, too :)


Remember Girl Scouts cookies? My favorite was the thin mint! Well, these taste just like raw thin mints!


Raw Mint Chocolate Crinkle Cookies



5 dates
1 cup walnuts
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/8-1/4 tsp peppermint extract
pinch of salt

Place all ingredients in a food processor or strong blender and process until smooth. I like the walnuts to stay a bit chunky, but this is up to you. SHape the dough into balls or cookies and enjoy!


Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:

What is your favorite Christmas cookie? I don’t necessarily have a favorite, but I do like making sugar cookies to decorate. I love making cookies, just not eating them.


Also, did you set out cookies for Santa when you were a kid? We always did (do!). We make set out cookies, milk, and a note for Santa. Then we sprinkle oatmeal, sparkles, and carrots in the front yard for the reindeer.


Personal Note: I am going to spend Christmas with my grandparents in Arizona! I am leaving the 23rd and will be there for a week. Therefore, I might not be able to reply to my comments until I get back (I will be having too much fun to sit on a computer!). However, please comment away! I will get to them when I come back home. Also, I have posts set up throughout the week for you all to read! There will be a couple of recipes, and Christmas story (remixed).
