Directions:

  8. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet (about 2 tablespoon-sized balls) and repeat until no batter remains.
  9. Lightly press down the cookies and bake for 15 minutes.
  10. While the cookies cool, whisk together the cream cheese, cashew milk, and maple syrup to make the glaze. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
  11. Allow cookies to cool on the baking tray for at least 15 minutes before cooling on a rack. Do not skip this step! Drizzle with glaze and enjoy.
