Ya know, for someone who will never be a raw-foodist, I sure do have a lot of raw recipes. I even have a separate raw recipe tab! And now it’s time for yet another creation that falls under this tab:
Hmmm… I bet these’d be good alongside (or inside) a big bowl of Snickerdoodle Oatmeal!
The perfect compliment to morning tea, coffee, or the aforementioned Snickerdoodle Oatmeal. All the yumminess of a warm snickerdoodle cookie, without heating up the oven!

Raw Snickerdoodles
(a.k.a. Snickerdoodle Babies)
(Yields a bit more than the size of two Larabars)
- 30 grams unsalted, raw almonds
- 80 grams dates (if you don’t know what type of dates to use, see the Baby FAQ post)
- a bit over 1/16th tsp salt
- very scant 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- heaping 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- pinch cream of tarter (I’m not sure it actually needs the c.o.t. But real snickerdoodle cookies have it, so I sometimes add it.)
Blend in your food processor (I use the Magic Bullet short cup). Smush into cookies, or balls, or bars, or even cookie-cuttered shapes. Enjoy!

Question of the Day:
What’s your favorite type of cookie?
Or, what’s your favorite of the fudge baby flavors?
Although she hasn’t tried any of these yet, I’m thinking the snickerdoodles will be my sister’s favorite fudge baby flavor, because snickerdoodles are one of her favorite Christmas cookies. My favorite cookie… gosh, I dunno. Probably something with chocolate! Maybe plain old chocolate chip? Boring, I know. I like cookies, but they have to be soft. No three-day-old cookies from the cookie jar for me. Straight outta the oven is best! And Oreos may be vegan, but I never liked them. Chips Ahoy were ok if I dipped them in milk to get ’em soft. Hard cookies just makes my tastebuds think “stale.”
And as for fudge baby flavors, I really like the doodle babies. (Mostly, I just like saying “doodle babies!!!”)
But my favorite *might* be the raw Peanut Butter babies .
Don’t make me choose!

I am now very pleased that I have almonds in my cupboard. I am making these pronto!
I need to try snickerdoodles!!! I’ve always wanted to but whenever I think about making them I’m usually at home..and my mom doesnt like them so I don’t want to be the only one eating them lmho. 😛 My favorite cookie’s definitely no bake PB/choc oatmeal cookies. I used to get a huge one everyday at this little supermarket in our neighborhood growing up. Very nostalgic. 🙂
Chocolate chip cookies are my fav definitely!! I actually like the raw cookie dough better than the baked cookies!
My favorite cookie? Ah, snickerdoodles!
I’ve been craving them like MAD lately (we usually make them around Christmastime), so I may just give this recipe a whirl!
We usually make them at Christmastime too… but one day I realized: Such an amazing cookie shouldn’t be ignored all year round, right? 🙂 🙂
Snickerdoodles – fun to say, delicious to chow down on.
I’m pretty partial to molasses or ginger cookies – I associate them with my grandmother, who always had a batch (usually slightly burnt) ready to go. Though a warm peanut butter cookie or a yummy macaroon might sway my loyalties…
Ooh anything with molasses and I’m sold! I don’t know why I don’t use that ingredient more often. Your comment has inspired me to run to my kitchen and find it!
Yummy! Those look sooo good. I love cinnamon. And doodle babies is the PERFECT name, so cute!
I’ve never had raw cookies but these look awesome and I’m glad to see the ingredients aren’t too intimidating either-easy to buy and use frequently! I’d have to say that my favorite kind of cookie is good old oatmeal chocolate chip…bet I could make a raw version of those that would be really good and really good for me
Better still: no dehydrator! Haha I can’t tell you how may raw recipes I write off because I’m intimidated by the dehydrator!
Favourite fudge baby flavour = Hot Chocolate ones. 😀
My last attempt at making snickerdoodles was a disaster. So maybe I should try these instead. No baking!
Ok– I’m SOOOO making those. What could go wrong with my two fav combos– Cinnamon, almonds and vanilla? 🙂
