Going Raw

So I made the Luscious Lemon cookies. Not too bad. They taste good both dehydrate and not. I did not dehydrate for as long as the recipe called, only until the outside was crunchy and the inside was chewy.

After I blended the ingredients in the VitaMix the top of the mixture was liquidy. However, I did not want to continue because the Vitamix was getting warm. I was starting to wonder, how this concoction was supposed to be edible by hand and un-dehydrated when it was this goopy mess.
Well as I started to get to the bottom of the mixture it became clearer. The bottom of the mixture was pretty solid stuff. Very easily made into lemon squares and not messy to eat by hand. So needless to say, I dehydrated the top of the mixture and left the bottom alone. As I said they are both good, but I prefer the dehydrated ones, b/c I like the crunchy texture. These cookies were gone in 3 days.

Also note that these lemon cookies are VERY lemony. I don't remember right now how much lemon zest was required, but I just used the zest of as many lemons I needed to make lemon juice which I know was less than what the recipe called for.

I would definitely recommend this recipe. It is one of the best dessert recipes we have made.
