Coconut Mocha Cookie Dough Balls

Hey Friends! How’s it goin? Remember that Coconut Mocha Cashew Butter I made a few weeks ago with my awesome new food processor? Well, last week, while I was – once again – eating it by the spoonful, I got the idea to use some in these Coconut Mocha Cookie Dough Balls.  I’m not going
