Julie Morris' Maca-Macaroons
Makes about 20 cookies
1 c. raw brazil nuts
1 1/4 c. unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
1 1/2 Tbsp. maca powder
3/4 c. (packed) soft Medjool dates (about 7 or 8), pits removed
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Grind all the ingredients together in a food processor until a coarse dough has formed. Check the consistency: pinch the dough and make sure that it sticks together, yet still crumbles like a cookie. If the dough is too dry, add water--a teaspoon at a time--until the dough sticks. If the dough is too wet, add spoonfuls of extra coconut until the dough is just right.
Form the dough into balls, about a tablespoon at a time, and roll exterior in extra coconut. Flatten into cookies and serve. Kept covered, these cookies will last several weeks.
