Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and line a large metal baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add in the vanilla, maple syrup, coconut butter and water. Use a hand mixer to beat on medium speed until fully combined. Scoop out 1 1/2 tbsp balls and place on cookie sheet. Use a flat bottomed glass covered with a piece of parchment paper to flatten. Bake for 8 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla, salt and sweetener. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool completely. Top each cookie with a layer of icing and decorate with fruit as desired. Store uncovered in the fridge until right before serving.
Notes
*These cookies will keep in the fridge for about 48 hours as long as they are kept uncovered. If you cover them, they will get soggy!*To successfully prepare in advance, bake your cookies and prepare your icing ahead of time, and wait until right before serving to assemble.
