Add 1 tbps. high quality coconut oil, macaroon coconut and cocoa power in quantities that match your preferred tastes.Dough should be just moist enough to form into a ball. Roll in macaroon coconut or organic raw cocoa or finely ground nuts for variety. For those without cancer a little honey or pure maple syrup may be added. Start with small quantities and experiment.
