Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Add the hazelnuts, coconut sugar and cacao into a food processor. Process on high until a sandy texture has formed. Transfer mixture to a bowl.

To the bowl, add the cherries, coconut, cayenne and salt. Stir it with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are combined.

Add the egg and syrup, and fold the wet ingredients into the hazelnut spice mixture until you have a soft, gooey dough.

On a parchment lined baking sheet, spoon the batter into balls and form into cookies with your hands. You want your cookies to be roughly 1/2" thick. Place the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet and repeat until you've used all the dough.

Bake in the center of the oven for 10 - 12 minutes until somewhat firm. Be careful not to overcook these, the hazelnuts seem to bake quickly.

Allow the cookies to cool completely, then drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with coconut.
