Cherry Almond Cookies

[Guest guest]

I've been enjoying all the good ideas posted here on this website. As

a result, I have added much more vegetables to my diet.

 

Lately, I have been leaning towards a Raw Foods Diet. Of course,

their motto is not to eat anything heated beyond 110 deg. Here is a

receipe I have not tried yet, however, it sounded good so I wanted to

share.

 

Cherry Almond Cookies

 

1 1/2 cups almonds

1/2 cup walnuts

1 1/2 cups pitted, packed dates

1/2 tsp almond extract

1/2 cup dried cherries

 

1. Grind 1/2 cup almonds into a powder in a food processor; set aside.

2. Place the remaining 1 cup almonds and walnuts in the food

processor and process until coarsely chopped. Add the dates and

almond extract and process until the mixture sticks together.

3. Remove the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the dried cherries and

mix.

4. Form the dough into 2-inch round balls and flatten each ball

slightly with the palm of your hand.

5. Roll each cookie in the almond powder that you set aside.

6. Store refrigerated or frozen in a sealed container.
