My weekend treat

This weekend I am relaxing and seeing friends and spending Saturday night alone! This hasn't happened in a long time and I find that when I am alone I eat a lot! So instead of eating whatever I find in the cupboard or fridge I have decided to make these deliciously looking raw cookies. Recipes is from my favourite raw vegan blog This Rawsome Vegan Life.
