photo by recipe author

Servings: 20 cookies
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cookies:

• 2 cups shredded coconut (I re-hydrated mine by soaking for a few hours because it was really hard, if you have softer coconut you probably don’t need to soak)
• 6 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for truly raw, you could raw honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or dried vanilla bean powder)
• 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Maple-Cinnamon Icing:

• 1/4 cup packed dates
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or raw honey)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil
• Water to thin

Combine all ingredients for cookies. Roll into balls, place on a wax-paper lined flat surface and press into a round cookie shape.

Combine ingredients for glaze in a food processor. Pipe onto cookies. Top with nuts if desired. Freeze until hardened.
