When you hear the words cookie or sweets, you probably do not associate them with raw foods, unless you are thinking about cookie dough. But now, those of you eating mostly raw foods, or just hoping to get more raw foods into your diet, can have your cookie and eat it too.
Raw foods are ideal because they have not been heated over 118 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning that their nutrients have not been destroyed by high heat. They are also made with natural, wholesome ingredients like nuts, seeds, fruits, and spices, with little to no sweeteners. Many also contain superfoods, making them nutritional powerhouses.
