Scoop cookie dough, about 2 Tablespoons of dough per cookie, and place 2- 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges. The centers will look soft but they will set as they cool.

- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet to cool completely before icing.

- Make the icing: Place powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Add the vanilla extract and 1 Tablespoon of coconut milk. Add only enough extra milk to make a thick icing. Lightly dip the tops of the cookies into the icing.

If using coconut butter icing, combine the softened coconut butter and coconut milk and maple syrup , warming and stirring until flood consistency.
