These tasty, chewy cookies are vegan and grain-free. The toasted coconut and maple syrup complement each other’s natural sweetness. They are wonderful on their own or drizzled with dark chocolate. My husband loves them without the chocolate so when I make them I only use the chocolate over half of them. Enjoy!
