Living Rawesome Day #16 Vanilla-Almond Macaroons pg. 42 everyday raw
Today was a day for sweets. I decided tonight that I would make the vanilla-almond macaroons. I had everything I needed for the recipe. The recipe calls for dried coconut, ground almonds, ground cashews, maple syrup (I used agave), coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond extract and sea salt. I didn’t try the batter, I am exceptionally tired tonight and not very hungry:) I know it’s surprising. I am always hungry, but not tonight. These little cookies remind me of the haystack cookies I make at Rutabaga’s. They don’t seem like they would be as sweet as haystacks. The haystacks have dates ,walnuts and honey. I don’t care very much for the taste of honey, I prefer agave’s lighter flavor.
I mixed the dry ingredients first then added the wet. This recipe was so simple I made the cashew and almond flour in the food processor. It comes out pretty fine. I’m happy with the texture. After combining the dry ingredients I added the wet and mixed them in. I thought I would need an ice cream scooper to form the cookies, but I had an oversized tablespoon measuring spoon and that worked just fine. They slipped right out onto the sheet. This recipe was so quick and easy. Only 2 days until the finished project. They have to be dehydrated for 24 hours on teflex sheets then they are to be removed and placed on the dehydrator tray for another 24 hours. I will bring some to work for samples to my friends:)
Well, I’m off to bed now. It’s going to be an early night. Hopefully my dishwasher will join me;) I love that he cleans up after me. I wonder who does Matthew Kenney’s dishes. I bet he doesn’t do any of them. OH, WHAT A DREAM THAT WOULD BE FOR ME. To never wash dishes again. AAAAHHH the life!
