Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR COOKIES:
½ walnuts
½ cup almonds
½ cup soft dates
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 heaped tbsp hulled hemp seeds
¼ cup raw cacao powder
1 tbsp cacao butter, melted (or coconut oil)
+ extra cacao powder for dusting
FOR COCONUT FILLING:
¾ cup shredded coconut
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp coconut nectar
2 - 3 tbsp coconut milk

Steps:

FOR COCONUT FILLING - Combine all the ingredients in the food processor and process until stick together.
FOR COOKIES - Combine all the ingredients (except chia and hemp seeds) in the food processor and process (stop periodically to scrape down the sides and help the mixture turn over) until a ball of dough begins to form. Add remaining ingredients and pulse a few times. Remove from food processor and form into a loaf (roll flat with a rolling pin). Then use cookie scoop or large tablespoon to form a cookie dough, larger than the coconut balls. Flatten it between your palms into a disk shape then put the coconut ball in the center. Pull the cookie dough up around the coconut center and pinch it together at the top. Roll it between your hands to get the cookie completely round. Place the cookies on parchment paper, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and use within 5 days.
