You know I like recipes that are fast and easy. So these coconut cookie dough balls are pretty much a dream come true. First of all, they taste like coconut cookie dough. And secondly, they’re no-bake, with just two ingredients. It can’t get any easier than that!

Preparation

Step 1

Blend everything together in a food processor. This makes a small batch, so I used my Magic Bullet. If you have a bigger processor, it might be best to double or triple the recipe so everything blends more smoothly. (The recipe can be done in a blender, but the results are stickier.)

Smush into one big ball, then roll into little balls or bars or cookie-cuttered shapes.

These will last in fridge for a few weeks or frozen for a few months.
