Aren’t they pretty?!
Our local farmer’s market always has an amazing selection of dried fruits and nuts. I stumbled upon a bag of juicy-looking dried nectarines recently and knew I’d wanna try making a raw cookie with them.
They are delicious out of hand too though. The concentrated nectarine juices burst with their bright peachiness. It’s a great flavor for summertime!
Raw nectarine dream cookies

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Directions
- Pulverize nuts in a food processor.
- Add chopped nectarines and pulse to combine.
- Add all other ingredients and combine.
- Roll mixture into a log on wax paper and press tightly.
- Refrigerate until firm and then slice into cookies.
I love popping one of these after an intense workout for a shot of protein. The juicy little bits of nectarine are so sweet and sticky.
It’s a total accident that these came out in the cute little teardrop shape they did. I was going for round, but I kind of like that they look like little cookie guitar picks. 
And they are rockin’!
these are super cute! They almost look like little bite-sized tangerine hearts. They’d also make a great on-the-go snack! Thanks for sharing!
Those are some very pretty (and tasty-looking) raw vegan guitar picks! 😛
I love that these are made with cashews! Such an under rated nut 😉
awesome recipe! these look so good!
Wow, these look so good! I love nectarines but I’ve never seen them dried! I’ll definitely keep an eye out.
Ooooh! These remind me of my dried mango sunflower snacks, except yours look about a billion times more enticing and attractive than my ugly orange balls did! Love the petal-like shape
gorgeous! i love that you used nectarine.

What a great idea!! I love these little treats but find that they are usually heavy with cacao or dates. I like this alternative!! Thanks for sharing

These are delicious. I substituted apricots for the nectarines. Thank you so much.
Glad you liked, and good to hear they work with apricots. I’ll give that a try next time!
