In a mixing bowl, stir together almond butter, honey, vanilla and cocoa powder. If mixture seems too thick stir in 2 tsp warm water to thin. Add oats, coconut, flaxseed meal and chocolate chips and stir until evenly coated. At this point if mixture still doesn't stick well, stir in up to 2 tsp water as needed. Using wet hands, shape into 1/2-inch balls. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container.

Alternatively: you can just pulse all ingredients in a food processor, to desired consistency. Then, shape into balls and refrigerate on plate until firm. Then, keep in air-tight bowl in refrigerator.
