- 6 oz pumpkin puree
- 8 oz almond flour
- 2 oz cornstarch
- 1.8 oz peanut butter
- 3.5 oz maple syrup
- 0.5 oz dark chocolate
- 0.5 oz white chocolate
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 2 tsp baking powder
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Combine 1.8 oz peanut butter and 6 oz pumpkin puree in a large bowl. Pour in 3.5 oz syrup and add 1/4 tsp salt to balance the sweetness. Beat until the mixture is creamy
Add in 8 oz almond flour, 2 oz cornstarch, 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice, and 2 tsp baking powder. Mix until just combined.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat, parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie mix, then, using your hands, form it into a cookie shape. Place on the baking sheet.
If the stickiness of the batter bugs you, pop the mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes before shaping the cookies. This helps your cookies firmer.
Put them in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until slightly brown.
Remove from the baking sheet to a cooling rack. When completely cool, use melted chocolate (0.5 oz dark chocolate, 0.5 oz white chocolate), drizzle over to decorate your cookies.
Serve or store cookies in an airtight conditioner.
