How to Make Luscious Lemon Cookies Raw Foods

If using almonds, soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight, then drain well.
Combine soaked almonds, dates, shredded coconut, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon curd (if using), and salt in a food processor.
Process until a sticky dough forms, adding water as needed to achieve a consistency that holds its shape but isn't overly wet.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls or shape them into desired cookie shapes.
If dehydrating, arrange cookies on dehydrator trays and dehydrate at a low temperature (around 105°F) for 6-8 hours, or until completely dry and firm.
If not dehydrating, place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Enjoy your Luscious Lemon Raw Food Cookies!
