Vegans unite. We couldn’t have a Twelve Days of Gluten Free Cookies 2016 without a vegan cookie. I created this recipe in 2013 and nearly forgot about it until I was browsing through my recipe collection. These cookies are not only vegan but super healthy and perfect for those watching their sugar intake as they are sweetened with pure maple syrup. How sweet it is.
