Wait for it.. healthy. “Comment est-que c’est possible?!” you gasp at the screen. You’re French, for some reason, even though most Frenchies don’t eat cookies, much less cookie dough. But you’re still French. Because that’s how incroyable this recipe is. Everyone knows the best part of the cookie is the gooey, raw dough, bursting with fresh vanilla flavor and deep brown sugar. But salmonella is categorically unfun, and all of that processed crap is categorically unhealthy. What if we whipped up a basically raw version with cashews and oats, threw in a handful of chocolate chips and some maple syrup, topped it off with a bit of vanilla syrup, and kept them in the fridge for whenever-you-damn-well-please?! Wouldn’t you be happy? I know I would. Was. Am. There are another one of O’s favorite recipes, and I whipped up this batch a couple weeks ago right before I went out of town for a couple days, as a sort of culinary apology? Either way, there weren’t many left in the frigo when I came home, and I knew my culinary apology had.. worked. Not only are these suckers so simple to throw together and stupid-delicious, but they’re a great quick bite of energy, owing to the cashews, “good carbs” in the oats, and bit of natural sugar from the maple. Have I appealed to both your taste buds and fat cells? Good. Good. Make these. They’re délicieuse.
