(Last Updated On: April 21, 2020)Maple Coffee Cookies!
I spent this wonderful, rainy morning wrapping Christmas presents, drinking coffee and nibbling on a few of these chewy maple cookies!
These thick, chewy holiday cookies are made with healthful ingredients, rolled in organic coconut sugar and cinnamon, and baked for just a few minutes!
From the moment the festive smell fills your home, you’ll be hooked!
Chewy, Moist and Sweet
It’s fun to play around with different flours (almond, oat, etc.), however I decided to go the more traditional route with these cookies – so I used an organic, unbleached all-purpose flour and loved the texture.
I adore using coconut sugar in holiday cookies, to me it has a brown sugar/maple flavor that is so much more interesting than raw cane sugar!
Apple sauce and almond butter can be used in place of eggs and oil. In addition, the apple and almond flavors only added to the maple and spice in the cookie!
I added a splash of freshly brewed coffee (I had just brewed some and thought, why not?), it gave these cookies a maple latte aroma! Don’t worry if you don’t like coffee, it’s very subtle behind the strong maple flavor, and you can always leave it out!
Egg and Dairy-Free
As always, I’ll be here for your egg and dairy-free recipe needs! It’s been years since I’ve cooked or baked non-vegan foods, and I’ve had a great deal of success in my experimenting!
To me, these cookies are as good as they get, but I’m curious for my non-vegan bakers out there, how do these add up to traditional recipes? Let me know!
Christmas Cookies
There’s nothing better than Christmas cookies this time of year, and these have always been one of my very favorites!
I think they are perfect on a cold day with some hot coffee or tea, and would be a great, sweet breakfast for Christmas morning! 🙂

These cookies sound amazing, I cant wait to try them! I also love that they are dairy (and peanut) free so everyone at my house can enjoy them!
Thank you! 🙂 They could also easily be gluten free with a switch of the flour!
