Pnut butter cookies, my down fall

[Wendee]

I thought since I did it before I could do it again, no problem.

I was WRONG:(

I will explain: for the last few days I have been baking for my sad family, expecaially my favorite cant make raw cookie the peanut butter cookie. anyways, i go all day long doing great with my raw food eating until right before bed, then I pig out on these pnut butter jewels, and I can't figure out how to make a raw version?

ANyways so last night was no exceptiion, but the last time I do it. I had raw food all day, then about nine oclock I ate about 7 cookies. such a big mistake. about one oclock in the morning I felt like vomit was coming up my throat, like I really had to throw up...and I DID>>>> from those stupid cookies. I am worried that somethnig may be wrong with me...whoever heard of someone not tolerating a few cookies expeceially after eating raw all the day long?

Has anyone else experianced this? I hate that throw up feeling. Was is detox

Hmmmm, could have been detox. Especially eating them late in the evening after being raw. Have you experimented around with any of the cookie recipes floating around here? I know Maca sort of kind of resembles (to me anyway) a peanut butter taste/consistency.

Sorry, I dont mean this in a smartalike way, but I just .. eat the peanuts. LOL! :D

Or, you could break the addiction and live life raw!!! :)

Yay!!!!

[Wendee]

yes, true,

any suggestions as to HOW to break the addiction to pnut butter cookies, anyone, please? t hank you so mu ch

[RawVee]

Um, I posted a recipe for cookies above...I found that once I went 100% raw, I stopped having cravings for things that I previously wanted.

Also, I would think that revisiting, mentally, the fact that you *puked* the last time you ate them might help. :)

[Wendee]

Raw Vee, thank THEE!:D

I didn't notice your recipie above until JUST now, wow!

That sounds so delish.

I want to ask you do you think they would taste even better with pnut butter flavoring in addition to the vanilla flavoring?/

[Wendee]

RawVee

Wow these are good. I was craving those pnut butter cookies i ate last night and I though of your recipie and they do take away that craving for the real thing...they almost DO taste like the real thing. If I add pnutbutter flavoring they may taste better maybe

anyhow, I decided to wrap a small piece of cacao candy (sweet goddesses recipie for easter candy) in the middle of each ball before I froze it. The only difference is I added more agave so the recipie for the cacao would be softer.:cool:

THANKS AGAIN!! :)

YAY, Wendee!!! I'm so happy you found a healthier alternative. I think you're right about peanut extract. You may also try maca powder. And do a search on here; there's a recipe for "peanut butter cups" that sounds AMAZING. :)
