Pumpkin Pie Cookies (Vegan, Grain-Free)

Notes:

As the batter is egg-free, feel free to taste-test it at step 2, and adjust the flavors to your preference. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond butter
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin purée, canned
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup, pure
  • 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract, pure
  • 1 dash Sea salt, fine
  • 1/2 cup Dark chocolate chips, vegan (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or a Silpat.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl, and mix until a thick batter is formed. If adding the dark chocolate chips, fold them in last.
  • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the line baking sheet, and gently press each mound with a wet fork (to prevent sticking) to flatten.
  • Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden.
  • Allow to cool completely before using a spatula to remove from the baking sheet. Serve immediately, or for a firmer cookie, chill before serving.
