How to Prepare Hazelnut Chocolate Snowballs [Vegan]

  1. Process a 1/4 cup of the dried coconut (reserving the other 1/4 cup for rolling the cookies in) along with the hazelnuts, chocolate and salt in a food processor, fitted with the “S” blade, until coarsely ground. Add the hazelnut extract, dates, and raisins. Process the mixture until it is a texture which holds together when gently pressed between your fingers. Roll into balls and then roll in the remaining coconut. These freeze wonderfully.
Fun variations:
  1. Use raw carob instead of raw chocolate or a combination of them
  2. Substitute the hazelnuts with pecans or walnuts and use almond extract in place of the hazelnut extract
  3. Replace the raisins dried cherries
