Side note:
Yes, I’ve gone back to the old blog header.
This change isn’t permanent. Currently I’m working with a web designer the most patient person in the world to completely overhaul the site’s layout, making it much more user-friendly (including a print option for the recipes). Hopefully it will all be completed soon. New year, new blog?
Now back to your regularly-scheduled cookies…
Pecan pie cookies you can make in minutes.
Delicious and good for you at the same time. If you’ve ever had a pecan pie Larabar, that’s exactly what these pecan pie energy bites taste like.

Pecan Pie Babies
(raw and gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup raw pecans (For all substitutions on this recipe, see nutrition link below) (52g)
- packed 1 cup pitted dates (I use Sunmaid, found in regular grocery stores near the raisins, as they are softer and stickier than the ones found in natural food stores.) (160g)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional: chocolate chips (or mini chips, or a piece of your favorite chocolate bar)
Combine all ingredients in a food processor until it makes a crumbly dough. (You can add the optional chocolate chips either before or after blending.) Pour crumbles into a bag and smush into one big ball. Remove from bag and form little balls. Or you can make bars or cookie-cuttered shapes if you prefer. This can also be made in a Magic Bullet: halve the recipe for best blending in a bullet.

Link of the Day:
Mint-Chocolate Chip Cookies, or Cookies in a Jar! I would most like to see both of these before XMas, please! Thanks for all you do Katie 🙂
Hey Katie these look delish….I just finished making a double batch of your hot fudge larabars into truffles rolled in cocoa powder, crushed pistachios, goji berries, and a version of ferrero rocher encasing a roasted hazelnut and rolled in crushed hazelnuts. They are all spectacular and will be giving them out as Christmas gifts along with your raw gingerbread men recipe but in truffle form. Im thinking now that some raw pecan cookies wouldn’t hurt either 🙂 the worst (or maybe the best) thing that could happen is that I would have to keep them all to myself. Im not complaining either way 😀
these look sooo good 🙂
cookies in a jar and cake batter macaroons!
Mint chocolate chip!!!!
quinoa cookies would be rad! also- a vegan version of my favorite dessert would be amazing! i’m obsessed with flourless chocolate cake…it’s the most decadent chocolate dessert ever and if you could make a vegan version that would be so cool!
