Ya know, for someone who will never be a raw-foodist, I sure do have a lot of raw recipes. I even have a separate raw recipe tab! And now it’s time for yet another creation that falls under this tab:
Hmmm… I bet these’d be good alongside (or inside) a big bowl of Snickerdoodle Oatmeal!
The perfect compliment to morning tea, coffee, or the aforementioned Snickerdoodle Oatmeal. All the yumminess of a warm snickerdoodle cookie, without heating up the oven!

Raw Snickerdoodles
(a.k.a. Snickerdoodle Babies)
(Yields a bit more than the size of two Larabars)
- 30 grams unsalted, raw almonds
- 80 grams dates (if you don’t know what type of dates to use, see the Baby FAQ post)
- a bit over 1/16th tsp salt
- very scant 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- heaping 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- pinch cream of tarter (I’m not sure it actually needs the c.o.t. But real snickerdoodle cookies have it, so I sometimes add it.)
Blend in your food processor (I use the Magic Bullet short cup). Smush into cookies, or balls, or bars, or even cookie-cuttered shapes. Enjoy!
.
Question of the Day:
What’s your favorite type of cookie?
Or, what’s your favorite of the fudge baby flavors?
Although she hasn’t tried any of these yet, I’m thinking the snickerdoodles will be my sister’s favorite fudge baby flavor, because snickerdoodles are one of her favorite Christmas cookies. My favorite cookie… gosh, I dunno. Probably something with chocolate! Maybe plain old chocolate chip? Boring, I know. I like cookies, but they have to be soft. No three-day-old cookies from the cookie jar for me. Straight outta the oven is best! And Oreos may be vegan, but I never liked them. Chips Ahoy were ok if I dipped them in milk to get ‘em soft. Hard cookies just makes my tastebuds think “stale.”
And as for fudge baby flavors, I really like the doodle babies. (Mostly, I just like saying “doodle babies!!!”)
But my favorite *might* be the raw Peanut Butter babies .
Don’t make me choose!

i loovveeee Nana’s peanut butter cookies – best thing ever!! But i do like some raw cookies like what you’ve just made
PB choc chip fudge babies are my fav!
I totally agree about cookies needing to be soft. I can’t wait for the weather to cool down so I can get baking!
Raw recipe tab?!?!
How did I miss this????????
Off to click!
Oh, forgot to say that for my favorite fudge baby flavor I’m putting in a vote for the hot chocolate babies!
Yummmmm!!!! Those look so good!!! My favorite type of cookie is probably the type with everything in them. Oatmeal, chocolate chips, raisins, coconut, nuts……Love ‘em!
I’m with you on soft cookies. Fresh is the only way to go! Soft and chewy!!!
yum! i’m a chocolate girl at heart but i love me some cinna-spicey goodness! will be making these soon!
Oooh, I’ll have to make those! Perfect for our long aeroplane ride this weekend.
Peanut butter (chocolate chip, optional) fudge babies are my favourite, but my husband will do just about anything for original fudge babies.
As for cookies, anything goes! I’m the biggest cookie monster around. Everyone has a vice; cookies are mine. Don’t make me pick a favourite, but off the top of my head I’ll say ANZAC biscuits or chewy oatmeal raisin. Mmm…
Oh Katie, I LOVE OREOS. Especially with a glass of almond milk for dunking. But I only like double stuff oreos. I do not recognize non-double stuff Oreos. I know they are manufactured and processed and probably full of stuff I shouldn’t eat, but they are truly a comfort food for me!
Yum, I love doodles!
I’m already looking forward to the holidays so I can make these for my family… Yum!
i want to make a raw cake before summer is over and i think i might make a raw crust out of ur fudge babies!! thats would be crazy huh. actually this snickerdoodle oatmeal version looks the best to me actually!!! <3
id love to try a chocolate or carob mint fudge baby too..mmm <3
hope ur week has been lovely!!
I am now very pleased that I have almonds in my cupboard. I am making these pronto!
I need to try snickerdoodles!!! I’ve always wanted to but whenever I think about making them I’m usually at home..and my mom doesnt like them so I don’t want to be the only one eating them lmho.
My favorite cookie’s definitely no bake PB/choc oatmeal cookies. I used to get a huge one everyday at this little supermarket in our neighborhood growing up. Very nostalgic. 
DOODLES are definitely top of my list!! Well, sharing the top w/ oatmeal chocolate chip, probably
But I love love love snickerdoodles. Therefore, I must try this (and your oatmeal) recipes, as soon as humanly possible. Thanks for the doodle love!
I’ll be trying these this week! I generally make pb&choc chip fudge babies, but these look like a nice change of pace.
Chocolate chip cookies are my fav definitely!! I actually like the raw cookie dough better than the baked cookies!
Oh my goodness these look divine! I really want to make them! Love your blog x
Awww thanks!
My favorite cookies have to be my own take on the classic glazed oatmeal cookie.. soft and chewy with just a hint of cinnamon for warmth, YUM! As for fudge babies, I don’t think I can choose so easily, although if I must, I’ll say chocolate, because you just can’t go wrong there! Snickerdoodles are my mom’s favorite cookie though, so I think I’ll try out your brand new babies on her!
Yesssss! I have all the ingredients at home! I’m so excited to make these tonight!
I think my fave are peanut butter babies, too. Just like the peanut butter cookie larabar is my favorite.
I love oaty cookies; crisp and chewy together is definitely the way forward!
As for fudge babies, my favourite way to make them is with 80g dates, 1tbsp cocoa powder and 10g each of cashews, walnuts and Brazil nuts – heaven!
Ooh I’m taking that recipe down. I never know what to do with Brazil nuts, but they’re so healthy!
Yum! OMG snickerdoodles!!! Raw snickerdoodles sound sooooo good!
I think that my favorites are cinnamon babies (pretty much the Snickerdoodles except with cashews instead of almonds) and chocolate chip cookie dough. Speaking of which, I should probably go make some now….
I think between oatmeal and peanut butter cookies…..I don’t know if I can choose either. Actually, I don’t even know if I could choose betweent the cookie dough or the finished product. I mean honestly….it’s all so good!
oh those cookies look too good! well not too good, because nothing can be too good hehehe
. but they come pretty close! i wish i could eat them right now. instead, i’m going to have to ut almonds on my grocery list.
i think my favorite babies are your macaroons. but that’s just because i really really really love coconut butter. thanks to you of course! what would i do without your blog, missy?
Favourite fudge baby flavour = Hot Chocolate ones.
My favorite cookie? Ah, snickerdoodles!
I’ve been craving them like MAD lately (we usually make them around Christmastime), so I may just give this recipe a whirl!
We usually make them at Christmastime too… but one day I realized: Such an amazing cookie shouldn’t be ignored all year round, right?
Snickerdoodles – fun to say, delicious to chow down on.
I’m pretty partial to molasses or ginger cookies – I associate them with my grandmother, who always had a batch (usually slightly burnt) ready to go. Though a warm peanut butter cookie or a yummy macaroon might sway my loyalties…
Ooh anything with molasses and I’m sold! I don’t know why I don’t use that ingredient more often. Your comment has inspired me to run to my kitchen and find it!
My last attempt at making snickerdoodles was a disaster. So maybe I should try these instead. No baking!
Yummy! Those look sooo good. I love cinnamon. And doodle babies is the PERFECT name, so cute!
I’ve never had raw cookies but these look awesome and I’m glad to see the ingredients aren’t too intimidating either-easy to buy and use frequently! I’d have to say that my favorite kind of cookie is good old oatmeal chocolate chip…bet I could make a raw version of those that would be really good and really good for me
Better still: no dehydrator! Haha I can’t tell you how may raw recipes I write off because I’m intimidated by the dehydrator!
I love me a good old fashioned oatmeal cookie with raisins, and maybe a little coconut too.
Ok– I’m SOOOO making those. What could go wrong with my two fav combos– Cinnamon, almonds and vanilla?
My favourite flavour fudge baby is my Cashew Cookie- one of my all time favourite combinations of dates and coconut. Its basically dates, coconut, cashew nuts, cocoa, carob and vanilla. Yummmmmmmmmmm!!!!
I just found your blog and these look amazing (as do all of your other variations!)
Aw, I’m so glad you found me!!
Honestly, I love the fudge babies! (I just tried Larabars last week, loved the minimal ingredients, but not the flavor. Granted, I didn’t try ALL of their flavors, but I’m convinced that fudge babies are tastier!) Anywho, I can’t wait to try this snickerdoodle recipe. The hot fudge baby has been my favorite so far, but I think I’ll have a new favorite with the doodle babies (until I’m tempted to add some ginger and make a gingersnap baby? We’ll see…)
Ooh thanks for reminding me! I haven’t made gingerbread babies in a looooong time. Why save them for Christmas??
Gingerbread babies: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2009/12/15/raw-gingerbread-men/
I made these last night and they were so good! I think I may be addicted to dates. I love Larabars, but I love the ones I make at home much better!!! Thanks for sharing all of your recipes.
Aww thanks, Lauren!
Homemade anything is almost always better!
The first thing I’d make in my vitamix would be my morning green drinks! But omg these snickerdoodle babies look delish!
Wow Katie where have you been since I have tried to go raw??? Such an inspiration! I have to lose @ 70lbs and I want to do it healthy…you are on my list!
Aw thanks for the sweet comment! Super-good luck on your raw journey!!!
Love and chocolate hugs,
Katie
Couldn’t stop shoving these in my mouth long enough to read through comments.
But wanted to share that I added oats and it upped the ante!
Ooo I love your addition idea!
I just made this. It was delicious. I ate it all right out of the food processor =]
Hey Katie!! I love your recipes so much. I tried the Snickerdoodle Oatmeal and it was delicious. Is there anything I can sub for the almonds in the raw recipes…I’m allergic to all nuts
The Samoas Fudge Babies, the Raw Macaroons, and the Raw Mounds Bars are all nut-free (except for coconut, which isn’t really a nut).
