Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup ghee or vegan butter (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and gluten-free baking powder until well mixed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add in the egg, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and softened ghee or vegan butter. Using a wooden spoon, mix everything together until the dough reaches a cohesive, dough-like consistency.
  4. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a separate smaller bowl, combine the granulated monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon for rolling the cookies.
  5. Shape and Coat Cookies: Divide the dough into 12 to 14 large spoonfuls. Roll each portion into a ball, then roll the balls evenly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
  6. Arrange and Flatten: Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Gently press down each ball to slightly flatten and shape the cookies.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake for 14 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
  8. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then carefully slide a spatula underneath each to transfer onto a cooling rack. Let them cool completely before serving to fully develop their texture and flavors.
