The beautiful thing about these treats is that they are low glycemic. I used big tree farms organic coconut sugar for this recipe. You can purchase this exact coconut sugar for yourself HERE.

I used Bob’s Red Mill unbleached white all-purpose baking flour, but you could also easily make it gluten-free with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free baking flour.

Ingredients you will need for this recipe:

For the cookies

½ cup melted vegan butter

1 cup organic coconut sugar

2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp of ground flax seeds + 4 Tbsp of hot water)

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp coconut milk

¼ tsp salt

1 ¼ cups all-purpose baking flour or gluten-free baking flour

For the toppings

dried rose petals + lavender for topping

1/4 cup powdered stevia

2 Tbsp vegan butter

2 Tbsp vegan cream cheese

2 Tbsp coconut milk

Method to make these cookies

Preheat the oven to 420° F. Make the flax eggs by mixing ground flax seeds and hot water into a small bowl.

In a medium size bowl, mix melted vegan butter, coconut sugar, flax eggs, vanilla, baking powder, coconut milk (or milk of your choice) and salt until fully combined.

Slowly add flour and mix until it forms into a dough.

Place parchment paper or silicone baking mat onto a baking sheet. Scoop dough 1 Tbsp at a time and form into cookie balls with your hands. Place each cookie ball spaced out onto the baking sheet.

Bake the cookies for 11 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges.

Allow cookies to cool on a baking sheet and making frosting in mean time.

For the frosting, whisk powdered stevia, vegan butter, vegan cream cheese and coconut milk until all clumps are smooth into a frosting consistency.

Once the cookies have completely cooled, spread frosting on the tops of the cookies and sprinkle it with dried rose petals and lavender.
