  • Toppings of your choice to roll the balls in - Try our Cinnamon Sugar, our Espresso Sugar, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Mix together the oats, sugar, & cocoa in a bowl
  2. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl.  If you using coconut butter, slightly heat it so it softens
  3. Use your clean fingers to rub everything together into a crumbly mixture
  4. Stir in the coffee or water and the vanilla extract or vanilla bean 
  5. Shape the mixture into round balls and roll them into your toppings, maybe sprinkles, shredded coconut, espresso sugar, nuts, you can do one of each
  6. Transfer the balls to a pan with parchment paper and leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to one hour. 

Tips / Notes

  • A variation is to add 20 pitted dates instead of sugar with all the other ingredients and pulse in a food processor until blended into a paste. Shape the cookies into balls, roll them into your toppings and transfer to the fridge or at least 30 mins.  You can even fill your chocolate ball with a little surprise - maybe a hazelnut or a berry...
