INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the cashew butter, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Remove from heat.
Stir in the gluten-free oats until fully coated with the mixture. Let the mixture cool slightly for 5–10 minutes.
Step 2: Shape the Cookies
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the oatmeal mixture and roll into a ball. Flatten slightly with your palms to create a cookie shape.
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Chill the cookies in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until firm.
Step 3: Make the Icing
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of coconut milk until smooth. Add an additional tablespoon of coconut milk, if needed, to reach a pourable consistency.
Step 4: Ice the Cookies
Once the cookies are firm, drizzle or spread the icing over the tops of each cookie. Allow the icing to set for about 15 minutes in the fridge or at room temperature.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
