In a small bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt if using. Stir well until creamy. Spread mixture evenly over the cookie dough.
- Take the remaining dough in small chunks and press it flat. Place on top of cinnamon layer and continue until all the dough is used and the cinnamon layer is covered. Gently press the top to try to seal any cracks.
- Bake for 23 minutes and then let cool before glazing.
- Make the glaze. First, make sure the coconut butter is smooth. Microwave for 30-60 seconds and stir well if needed. Add the ¼ cup to a small bowl and add in the maple syrup, vanilla, and water. Drizzle over the bars.
