Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup all natural peanut butter

1/3 cup pumpkin puree

1 large egg

1 1/4 cup almond flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

Optional Glaze

1/3 cup natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl combine combine peanut butter, pumpkin puree and egg; stir until well combined. You can use a hand-held electric mixer, if preferred.

Add in almond flour, cinnamon, and turmeric and stir again until everything has come together into a dough. NOTE: The dough will be sticky.

Scoop a heaping teaspoon of dough into your palms and gently roll and shape into a disc-shaped cookie. Place on the baking sheet and continue until you have 20 cookies on the tray. Use a fork to create a crisscross on top of each treat. It helps if the fork is wet so it doesn’t stick to the dough.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the cookies are set and golden brown around the edges.

Optional: Combine peanut butter, melted coconut and turmeric in a small bowl and mix well. Transfer into a small zip-top bag, remove all the air and seal. Cut a tiny piece off of the corner and drizzle the glaze over each cookie.

Notes

This is a sticky dough, I find shaping the treats with slightly damp hands helps prevent the dough from sticking to my hands. The glaze is fun and while it will firm up, it does remain soft, so if you add the glaze, be sure to store the cookies in the fridge. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to three days on the counter, one week in the fridge and three months in the freezer.
