    4-Ingredient Raw Pecan Shortbread Cookies (with Baking Option)

    By Alisa Fleming on April 26, 2013 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    I’m not a raw foodist, in fact I have a bit of a cooked food obsession. That said, I’ve developed a foodie “crush” on raw food Chef Amber Shea Crawley and her deliciously approachable recipes. What’s fun about Amber’s style is that she frequently offers raw and cooked or baked instructions. It makes all of her recipes far less intimidating for me (and I’m sure others), which is why her cookbooks are just about the only raw food ones that I actually use. This brings me to my very important point, Amber has released a new cookbook!! It is Practically Raw Desserts: Flexible Recipes for All-Natural Sweets and Treats. In this post, I’ve got the low-down on what’s inside and a sample recipe (Raw Pecan Shortbread cookies – with optional baking instructions).

    4-Ingredient Pecan Shortbread Cookies! This recipe includes both raw and baked instructions, and is naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and paleo!


    Practically Raw Desserts
    covers cakes to cookies to frozen desserts, and is totally free of dairy, eggs, gluten, wheat, soy, corn, refined grains, refined sugars, yeast, and starch. Amber even goes to the trouble of noting which recipes are free of grains, nuts, oils or added sweeteners and includes tons of tips and recipe photos throughout. I love how thorough she is! Her attention to detail and documentation is rare for a classically trained chef (Amber trained in the art of gourmet living cuisine at the world-renowned Matthew Kenney Academy).

    Practically Raw Desserts: Vegan Raw Pecan Shortbread CookiesFor a quick sampling, here are some of the recipes from Practically Raw Desserts that I’m currently drooling over:

    • Enlightened Carrot Cake
    • Tangy Cream Cheese Icing
    • White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Blondies
    • Midnight Mocha Cookies
    • Deep Dish Caramel Apple Pie
    • Turtle Bites
    • New York Cheesecake
    • Coco-Nana Crème Pie
    • Dark Chocolate Sorbet
    • Raw Pecan Shortbread Cookies …

    Special Diet Notes: Raw Pecan Shortbread Cookies

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, vegetarian, and paleo.

    Recipe by Amber Shea and from her cookbook, Practically Raw Desserts. "These crisp on the outside, tender on the inside cookies were a consistent favorite among my recipe testers. With only four ingredients, you could practically make these with your eyes closed!"
    Author: Amber Shea Crawley
    Serves: 12 gently baked cookies
    Ingredients
    • 2 cups dry pecans
    • ¼ cup coconut flour
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ cup maple syrup
    Instructions
    1. Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are finely ground. Do not to over process. Add the coconut flour and salt, and pulse to combine. Add the maple syrup, and pulse until the dough starts to stick together.
    Make It Raw:
    1. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop the batter by the rounded tablespoonful onto a Teflex-lined tray. Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten the cookies to about ⅓ inch thick.
    2. Dehydrate at 110°F for about 4 hours, carefully flipping the cookies over onto a mesh-lined tray halfway through, until they feel dry and firm.
    Make It Baked:
    1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
    2. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop the batter by the rounded tablespoonful onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten the cookies to about ⅓ inch thick.
    3. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the cookies are dry on top. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before handling (or else they will crumble).
    4. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month

      I totally want these! And there’s not a pecan in the house! 🙁 Must remedy that for sure. This book sounds like a must have for healthier treats!
