What makes these chocolate cookies unique?

The cookies feature a blend of almond, oatmeal, tapioca, and chestnut flours, giving them a distinct texture and flavor before being filled.

Do I need to bake the cheesecake filling?

No, the cheesecake filling is raw, made by blending soaked almonds, cashews, cacao butter, and other ingredients until smooth, providing a creamy contrast to the baked cookies.

Can I substitute the maca and lucuma powders in the filling?

While maca and lucuma powders add unique flavor and nutritional benefits, you could omit them or experiment with other superfood powders if preferred, though the taste profile would change.

How do I achieve the right consistency for the cookie dough?

Add non-dairy milk gradually, 2-6 tablespoons, until the dough is smooth, non-sticky, and easily shaped for rolling and cutting.

How should I store the finished Raw Chocolate Cookies With Cheesecake Filling?

Given the raw, creamy filling, these cookies are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their texture and freshness.

To Make the Cookies:

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and non-dairy milk. Add the milk in small amounts until the dough is non-sticky, smooth, and easily shaped.

Put the cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment.

Let the cookies cool down before filling.

To Make the Filling:

Blend the soaked cashews, drained cashews, and almonds with a blender until very smooth.
Add the rest of the ingredients except for the melted cacao butter and coconut oil and blend well. Add the cacao butter and coconut oil carefully and blend again.
To make sandwich cookies, pipe or spread 1 tablespoon of filling onto the flat side of half the cookies. Top with another cookie pressing gently.
