Raw Salted Caramel Cookies

 

As per my previous recipe posted on the blog I got busy in the kitchen over the weekend and made some delicious and healthy raw salted caramel. I actually made the salted caramel with this raw cookies recipe in mind. I shared these with my parents who were visiting me from overseas and some friends at work. Love sharing my raw healthy treats (it saves me from eating them all by myself!)

This is a very simple recipe that actually looks more complicated than it is. I think it took me around 20 min to make them. With raw cooking what takes the longest is the cleaning up of the food processor afterwards!  

I topped the raw treats with Goji berries but you could also use nuts or a layer of raw chocolate. I might try the latest next time...
