Chocolate Fruit Cookies

I tried these cookies at a healthy food store and instead of buying them I thought I would look on Pinterest and see if I could make them my self! I found the recipe from http://healthyblenderrecipes.com They are delicious! They are a fruit ball but at our house we call them cookies! My kids love these and they are healthy!! You will need to have a good blender to make these! Enjoy!

1 cup mixed raw nuts (I used 1/3 cup each of raw almonds, cashews & macadamias)

1/2 cup organic pitted chopped dates

1/2 cup dried chopped apricots

1/2 cup raisins

2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 Tbsp fresh orange juice

a couple of drops – 1/8 tsp of natural almond essence

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup desiccated coconut

1. Mix the coconut and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside for rolling.
2. Put all other ingredients in a food processor, and slowly add in the orange juice if it doesn’t bind together completely.
3. Roll into small balls and coat with the coconut mixture.

Store in a sealed glass container in the fridge.
