These look great, I'm always looking for new vegan/gluten free dessert recipes as I own a bakery & have recently began catering to a large VGF community. The quinoa flakes look like they could be a good substitute for rolled oats in some of my other recipes. I did just want to point out though that honey is NOT vegan! (Trust me many of my customers are strict vegans & they make sure to remind me!) I would suggest agave nectar as a substitute, it's also great of diabetics. Also canola oil would be good instead of coconut oil, I use it for those who are allergic to soy.

We just made these using a mixture of peanut butter and almond butter (didn't have enough almond butter). They are fantastic. My daughter especially enjoyed being able to sneak bites of egg-free dough. Thanks!

Oops, looks like I never got to responding to some of these other comments.....

Earthbound, I don't have any carob recipes on this site, sorry. :)

Randi - I think you could use whatever date you had on hand though I am no date expert! :)

Thanks everyone else for your thoughtful comments! :)

~M - No the coconut oil can be solid because you will be adding it to a blender with hot water and soaking dates. It will quickly melt before you even get to blending it. Much faster this way! :)

This cookie recipe looks SO Fantastic AND I have all of the ingredients. Just one question: Is the coconut oil supposed to be solid or liquid for this? I'm never sure. Thanks, Ali!

Does it matter if you what type of dates you use?

Hi Ali, I love your site. Thank you very much! I'm allergic to chocolate and wondering if you have any carob recipes?

I made these cookies last week with peanut butter - they were delicious and still good after 1 week in a container!

Ali,
I DID use the blanched almond flour and it worked great! They are a tad soft(er?) but the flavor is FABULOUS!

If anyone doesn't feel like baking and you want to get one of these cookies that Ally based her chocolate chip cookie recipe on, visit our website or pick up one at Terra Organica, The Coop on Forest St., or Woods Coffee! - Note that our cookie has gf oats instead of quinoa flakes.

Hi Marissalanzito!

Could you try ground chia seeds?

2009-12-11T16:21:35.794-08:00

You know I don't bake much... I'm a Raw vegan chef. BUT, these were intriguing and I decided to give them a go. I will say, that while making them, I had my doubts with how unique the batter was to me, the ingredients, etc... BUT... I just taste tested. YUM! Thanks for the recipe. :) Oh, and my husband will thank you, too... he is going to LOVE these (if there are any left when he gets home - just kidding).

Cheers,
Kristen

2009-12-09T19:03:45.476-08:00

Ali,

Thank you for responding. :) I tried these with sunbutter and sunflower seeds, and they were quite delicious. I think that hazelnut might go even better with the chocolate, so I will try that next!

I can't wait to make these. I want to make an assortment of Raw vegan cookies and vegan baked cookies for the holiday get togethers. THANKS!!

Cheers,

2009-12-07T06:32:35.497-08:00

These look soo good, Ali. I've been making too many sweet treats lately and need to get back on track with some really healthy versions. This looks to be a great start. I knew I could count on you!

So I got all the ingredients!!! I'm making these tonight and will post about them soon!
I didn't know what quinoa flakes were located in the store and I was surprised to find them with the breakfast cereals!!!
I'll let you know how they come out!
Have a great weekend!

2009-12-04T19:48:06.931-08:00

Oh my word, these are AWESOME! I baked a batch tonight with cashew butter and ground cashews. I replaced the honey with 1/4 c rice milk and 1 tsp stevia extract. I used chopped unsweetened chocolate instead of chocolate chips, threw in 1 Tbsp of mesquite flour for a little extra kick, and baked for about 14 minutes. AMAZING! I can't wait to take them to the HOliday Cookie Party I'm attending tomorrow....if I don't eat the whole darn batch first. Thanks for such a great recipe Ali!

Are you also psychic Ali? I have been wishing and hoping you would post a chocolate chip cookie recipe! I can't wait to try it!

2009-12-03T22:04:47.797-08:00

I just bought some dates to try the chewy chocolate chip cookie recip ein your cookbook, but might have to try these instead! I'll be using cashew butter and ground cashews (almond allergy), yum yum! I think I'll try them next with Sunbutter and sunflower seeds...or maybe even sesame tahini for something really interesting. I'm going to come up with something clever to replace normal chocolate chips - I make some darn good homemade carob chips a la Sally Fallon, or might use cacao nibs, or might try making my own "sweet" chocolate chips starting with a bar of unsweetened baking chocolate and some steiva...we'll see what happens. I can't wait!!!!! Thanks for such a great recipe, can't wait to try!

2009-12-03T20:21:59.868-08:00

These look fabulous...I haven't had a chocolate chip cookie for so long. I have everything on hand...might have to whip up a batch this weekend. Thanks so much for linking to Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays!

2009-12-03T13:54:27.485-08:00

Are chocolate chips toddler friendly, if they're all squished in a cookie? D. is too old now for me to have cookies on the sly...or perhaps I am just not sneaky enough!
