Fig & Apricot Macaroon Cookie Balls

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line 2 large baking sheets with baking paper. Whizz half the coconut in a food processor until finely ground.

Place all the coconut in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Use damp hands to roll heaped tablespoons of the mixture into balls. Place onto prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until tips of coconut turn golden brown. Cool cookie balls on the baking sheets. Stored in an airtight container, cookies will last well for up to a week.
