Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is grown at high elevations in the Andes region of central Peru. It has been used for centuries by indigenous Peruvians as a food source, as well as for increasing stamina and energy. More recent scientific studies have demonstrated that Maca supports hormonal balance and both male and female reproductive health.* See recipe below.

These guilt-free cookies are low in calories but high in flavor.

Ingredients

Grind all ingredients together in a food processor until a coarse dough has formed. Check the consistency. Pinch the dough and make sure that it sticks together, but still crumbles like a cookie. If the dough is too dry, add water, a teaspoon at a time, until the dough sticks together. If the dough is too wet, add spoonfuls of extra coconut until the dough is just right.

Form the dough into balls, about a tablespoon at a time, and roll exterior in extra coconut. Flatten into cookies and serve. Kept covered, cookies will last several weeks.

Makes about 20 cookies
