These easy raw oatmeal cookies taste pretty close to conventionally baked oatmeal cookies, but you are getting the benefit of all of the live enzymes and goodness. Just tweak the flavors to taste, you might want to add in a little more sweetener or lemon zest. But these quantities struck a nice balance for me. You can't go wrong with apricot and coconut!

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats or oat groats
2 cups dried apricots roughly chopped
1 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1/2 cup grated apple firmly packed (about 2 medium)
1/2 cup pitted dates roughly chopped
1/4 cup virgin coconut oil in liquid form
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp natural vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon zest finely grated
pinch celtic sea salt

Place all of the ingredients in your food processor fitted with the s blade, and pulse until well combined but still rustic.
Transfer this mixture to a bowl, and combine with your hands until a thick clustered "dough" forms that hold together into balls.
Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup. measure a level cup firmly packed of the dough and form into a round ball. Flatten the cookie to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Place on mesh dehydrator sheets and dehydrate cookies at 115 degrees fahrenheit for 12 to 15 hours, or until dry but chewy.

For those of you without dehydrators, you can make these oatmeal cookies in a conventional oven by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C), placing the cookies inside, closing the oven door, turning the oven off and allowing it to cool with the cookies inside. The cookies should have a nice chewy texture. You can repeat this process for a harder cookie.
