Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 tablespoons allulose sugar substitute or Swerve
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum optional
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of nutmeg
For the optional frosting
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered allulose or erythritol
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F (176° C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
- Add the butter and sugar to a mixing bowl. Beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl and reserve 1 tbsp to brush on the tops of the cookies. Add the remaining egg, and the rest of the cookie ingredients to the bowl and mix together until well combined.
- Scoop the batter into 12 balls and arrange evenly on the baking sheet. Flatten the balls with your hands or with the bottom of a glass so they are about 1/4" thick circles. Brush the tops with egg.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until firm and golden.
- Meanwhile, mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl. Beat until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread the glaze on the tops and serve.
Notes
- The xanthan gum is optional, but it gives the cookies a bit more chew, so they are less crumbly.
- The frosting is also optional. It can also be served on the side.
- The addition of coconut flour gives these cookies a firmer texture, which I prefer. If you don't have coconut flour or don't wish to mix them, you can use 1 1/2 cups of almond flour and omit the coconut flour. You cannot, however omit the almond flour.
