Chocolate Ginger Macaroons

Adapted this recipe from Australian chef and blogger Girl on Raw. Can't make them fast enough! Best. Cookie. Ever.

3 C shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1/2 C ground nuts or nut flour
1 C cocoa powder
1/2 C honey or maple syrup or a mix of the two
1/2 C almond butter
1 T vanilla extract
1 T grated ginger*
2 t lemon juice
pinch salt

Mix all ingredients together. Use a cookie scoop or roll into 1" balls and dehydrate for 8 hours. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside!

*I keep whole ginger root in the freezer. It keeps for ages, grates beautifully, and slices okay if you have a good, heavy knife. I use a wood rasp for grating.
