The ingredients for Raw Oatmeal Cookies are:

2 C whole oat groats
1 C dates, without pits
1 apple, cored
1/2 C raisins
2/3 C walnuts, chopped
dash of salt (optional)

Here is how you make Raw Oatmeal Cookies:

Soak the oat groats, dates, and raisins separately overnight, then rinse the oats. Drain the dates and raisins, but save the water from the fruit. Chop apple and dates in a food processor until pea-size or slightly smaller. Put them into a bowl and without rinsing the processor, put in the oats, cinnamon, and salt (if using salt). Grind on high until mealy, adding the raisin and/or date soak water to help it mix smoothly. Stir the oat mixture into the apple/date mixture, then add the raisins and walnuts. Spoon onto a teflex sheet or parchment paper on a dehydrator tray and flatten slightly to speed the dehydrating. The number of cookies depends on the size. I put 16 on each tray, for a total of 36. Dehydrate at 125 F for an hour to remove some of the moisture quickly and prevent fermentation, then at 115 F until cookie-like in texture (about another 8 hours). They do not need to be totally crisp. The cookies freeze well, and can be thawed when desired. These cookies make good travel snacks, although they are crumblier than bars.
