Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice - see notes
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Icing:
- ⅓ cup heavy cream - aka whipping cream
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese
Topping:
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl mix the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin spice together (you can make your own spice mix - see notes).
- Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract and 2 eggs. Mix together.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to create mounds. The batter will be sticky. Place onto the baking sheet.
- Use a fork to gently flatten the cookies. Rinse the fork under water before pressing to help with stickiness.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes then transfer to a baking rack to cool completely before icing.
- To make the cream cheese icing, see instructions here. Place cream cheese frosting in a plastic sandwich bag. Seal the top tightly and snip a tiny piece of the corner to create a piping bag. Frost the top of each cookie.
- Sprinkle the tops with a bit of cinnamon. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes:
- You can make your own pumpkin pie spice using 11/2 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg, ½ tsp ginger, ¼ tsp allspice.
- You can make your own oat flour using old-fashioned rolled oats and a blender. See the easy instructions here.
- Storage: Cookies can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer in a Ziploc bag for 2-3 months.
