Coconut Macaroons



2 1/4 c. shredded coconut
2 Medjool dates
1/2 c. honey
1 tsp vanilla

Blend ingredients in food processor. Roll into small balls, flatten to about 3/4 inch. Hint: Add more honey to mixture if, when you make a ball out of it, it doesn't easily stick together.  

Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 6-8 hours (longer if you want a crunchy outer shell and chewy inside - either way is good). 

Variations:
Instead of vanilla, blend...
- 3 strawberries for Strawberry Coconut Macaroons 
  (or "Coco Berry Macs" for kids)
- 1/2 orange (juiced) for Orange Coconut Macaroons 
   (or "O' Coco Macs" for kids)
- 1/4 lemon (juiced) for Lemon Coconut Macaroons 
   (or "Le Coco Macs" for kids)
