Raw Lemon-Ginger Super Cookie Balls

Charlotte and I made some raw sugar cookies a few days ago following Gena's recipe from ChoosingRaw.com, and they were pretty awesome.  But, since we ate them all, we were in need of something sweet again.  I had just finished making a carrot, orange, ginger juice, and felt like more ginger was called for.  Charlotte happened to be chewing on a little piece of ginger at the time, so I knew she was in agreement.  We looked around the kitchen to see what else we had on-hand, and this is what we came up with:

Raw Lemon-Ginger Super Cookie Balls

10 medjool dates

8 tbsp almond flour

6 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

4 tbsp hemp seeds

2 tbsp lemon juice

1" fresh ginger, grated

Pinch of sea salt

Place the dates in a food processor and pulse until they are well chopped, starting to form a ball.  Next, add all the other ingredients, EXCEPT 2 tablespoons of the shredded coconut.  You'll use it as the outer coating of the finished cookies. Pulse the cookie mixture until it's well blended and sticking together.  Once your cookie mixture is ready, measure tablespoon scoops of "dough" and roll into balls.  Lastly, drop the cookies into the reserved coconut and coat them.  Then, try to resist eating them all at once.  It's tough, I tell ya!  Enjoy!
