Maple Cookies

These maple cookies are dairy free and can easily be made refined sugar free. They are one of my new favorite cookies as well. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients:

for the cookie:

• 2 3/4c + 2t freshly milled flour

• 1t baking soda

• 1/2t salt

• 3/4c coconut oil (or butter)

• 200g (or 3/4c +3t) dark brown sugar

• 1 egg

• 1/3c maple syrup

• 1t vanilla extract

For the glaze

• 2T butter or coconut oil

• 1/3c maple syrup

• 1c powdered sugar (potentially more, until you reach the correct consistency for the glaze)

Method:

1. Combine the coconut oil or butter and the brown sugar and combine. Then add the vanilla extract, salt, egg, baking soda, and maple syrup. Combine the flour last, gradually.

2. Once the batter is combined, cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour.

3. Preheat your oven to 350F. Scoop cookies out and place them on parchment paper or baking mat lined cookie sheets.

4. Bake at 350 for 12-17 minutes, depending on how your oven runs. Bake until both sides are lightly browned. While the cookies are baking, combine the ingredients for your glaze

5. When the cookies are finished, place on a cooling rack and ice them after they have cooled off.
