I don't have a recipe but good luck with this. I am in love with the oatmeal raisin cookies from Pure Food & Wine. I could seriously eat a bag of those every day.

That's what my girls have been telling me- are they made with maple syrup? PF&W made the desserts for my wedding and the cookies were sickly sweet- even my kids couldn't handle them.

Yeah, they use maple syrup. Still, though, I love 'em.

Those sound like a tasty combination Charles. Cultured oats and chocolate don't sound like a good combo to my tastes. Nut "yogurts" cultured on very sweet raw fruit in a good dehydrator on fever temp works for me too.

Hi Erin, I just made some sun cookies this morning using a mixture of things including oat groats, they turned out really nice. You could just add in some cacao nibs for a chip effect. I posted the recipe on my blog.

don't use oats. there is debate about whether they are really raw. i just made some cacao chip and gogi berry cookies. i am working on formulating the recipe and i will put it up when goneraw is back up.

I've got the rolled oats from rawliving, so def. raw :-) , and use them to make flapjack like cookies... basically I soak a 1/2 cup of dried berries (although as fresh become available I'll try those too) for 20mins, then mix those through 1 1/2 to 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 Tbsp sunflower oil, and 1/2 cup agave. Mound up on dehydrator tray and dehydrate for 8-12 hours (can do longer, but less than 8 hours they just crumble when you try to pick them up). I keep them down to around 5cm diameter - and sometimes use a biscuit cutter to shape them (place on sheet, drop mix through and press down, remove cutter/mould )

Matt Kenney's new book has a nice looking recipe for chocolate choco chip cookies- they look like the real thing.

I have made Matthew Kenney's raw chocolate chip cookies from "Everyday Raw" and they are amazing. It was too much fun piping the chocolate chips, and they freeze well. If you have access to the book try those out. I would share the recipe but I didn't think it would be nice of me to post a published recipe verbatim.

I have made these as well. These are very heavy and I'm sure not good for you to eat them all, so make sure to have friends over or you will eat them all and be feeling heavy... They are so good they hurt a little bit.

The problem probably was that you dehydrated at too of a low temperature for too long of a time, allowing the groats to ferment. I had that problem the first time I tried to make bread in my dehydrator. Read this:
