Just found this while riding on a NYC M101 public bus:
"When someone takes the love we offer, it is the greatest act of giving
because it give to the lover his reason for living. But love has vulnerability.
Love needs receptivity, even as a seed needs soil, and cannot flourish if
tossed in a tin can. To love wisely we must believe in love and nurture love.
To love wisely we must be in love with love. To love wisely, we must love with
LOVE!"
And consequently returning home I was inspired to whip up
some raw vegan LOVE cookies with cacao powder, walnuts, dates, seasalt,
vanilla, maple/coconut sugar, dried coconut, cranberries, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom,
and cloves. Now I need to share my heart(s).
In a food processor I mix approximately one cup of walnuts
with 1/2 cup of fresh dates, a sprinkle of organic pure vanilla, a couple
tablespoons of raw cacao powder, and a dash of seasalt, and then remove half of
the mixture in which I mix in cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and a splash of maple
syrup, and to the other half remaining in the processor I add the fresh ginger,
dried cranberries, and a bit of coconut sugar, combining until it forms a
sticky dough. I add a bit of dried coconut to make the dough a bit stiffer.

| Cutting out the Hearts... |
On lightly greased piece of wax paper (oiled with a bit of
unrefined organic coconut oil) I roll out the dough and break out my heart
cookie cutters in two different sizes. Garnishes include dried cranberries and
more walnuts.

If you have a dehydrator you can “bake” the “cookies” for a
couple hours to make a bit more firm or just eat them naturally soft and
delicious. Alternatively you can place them on a cookie sheet in the oven for
about 10-12 minutes at 325 degrees.
I am addicted to LOVE and/or cookies.
