Whether it's Valentine's Day or not, these cookies are a crowd pleaser. I mean, chocolate covered fruit in cookie form = a dream. I left these home when I went to visit my boyfriend for Valentine's Day, and let's just say~ they were nowhere to be found when I got back home. This recipe is lightly sweetened with date nectar and maple syrup, on top of the natural sweetness of the fruit. Of course, this is gluten free and dairy free, but you can sub the egg to make it vegan, if needed.
