In a high-speed blender or food processor, add your almonds and blend well, until a course, crumbly texture remains.
Add your shredded coconut and dates and blend well, regularly scraping down the sides to ensure the mixture is fully combined. Add your cocoa powder and blend again. If your batter is not thick enough (it should resemble a dough), add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again.
Transfer your raw cookie dough into a bowl. Form 12 balls and roll each one in the extra shredded coconut. Place on a lined plate or tray and using a fork, press down on each one to form a cookie shape, before crossing each side.
Refrigerate your cookies until they are firm.

Notes
Top tips for whole30 desserts-
Rethink sweeteners. Added sugar is a no-go for the whole30 diet, but you can have all the fresh fruits you want. So the next time you crave something sweet, grab a piece of fruit or opt for a fruit-sweetened dessert.
Transform your favorite treats. When you’re craving a milkshake or a brownie, nothing else quite satisfies. Simple swaps like mashed bananas instead of sugar or almond milk instead of dairy milk are foolproof substitutions to make any recipe whole30-approved instantly.
Spice it up. Even for a 30-day diet, it’s essential to keep things interesting, so try new desserts often to treat yourself!
