These are the most delicious vegan cookies you will ever eat! I have been experimenting with various types of oatmeal cookies for the past few weeks and haven't found a recipe I absolutely loved until I made these.
I got the original idea for the recipe from a blog I like, vegAnn's Kitchen. I made a few modifications to it based on my personal preferences. I reduced the sugar and added a bit more maple syrup. I also added some of my favorite cookie ingredients like shredded coconut, dried fruit, cinnamon and walnuts. The end result is a delicious, nutty and soft cookie with a hint of sweetness.

Directions
- Heat oven to 350F. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
