- One-quarter cup of finely chopped, dried tart cherries

What’s a Delicious Treat to Make with Fresh Cherries and Coconut?
- Meticulously mix together the coconut flakes, rich chocolate chips, velvety smooth cacao nibs, and succulent cherries in a spacious bowl.
- Pulse the oats in a food processor approximately 10 times to reduce them to smaller fragments. Don’t go overboard on the flour; moderation is key. Combine the oats with the toasted coconut flakes in a bowl.
- Process the walnuts in the food processor, pulsing repeatedly until they’re finely chopped into minute fragments. Achieve the desired texture of creamy polenta instead of aiming for a gritty consistency reminiscent of walnut butter. Combine the walnuts with the coconut mixture.
- Combining the ripe banana, refreshing apple juice, earthy beet juice, and sweet stevia in the food processor. Here’s the improved text: Now you can truly optimize your performance by hitting “on” rather than just “pulsing”.
- Combine the mixture in the large bowl by stirring thoroughly. The batter will be sticky, its vibrant red hue a testament to the quality of the ingredients.
- With two dehydrator sheets prepared, you’re all set to start drying your favorite fruits, herbs, and vegetables! Scoop up approximately one-quarter cup of cookie batter, compressing it firmly into the measuring cup before gently tapping the sides to release any air pockets. Position the dough onto a dehydrator sheet and delicately pat it into a uniform circle approximately three inches in diameter. Use the remaining dough to continue crafting your culinary masterpiece.
- To dry the cookies, preheat a dehydrator to 115°F and process them for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, turning the cookies over halfway through the drying cycle. You’re aiming for a firm yet yielding consistency. Remove and enjoy while warm. Store a stash of spare cookies in the fridge for future indulgence.
