Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Yield: 10-12 cookies


Ingredients:

Cookies –

2 cups almond flour

1/2 cup arrowroot powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ginger

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon pink salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup pumpkin 

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoon melted coconut oil

1 cup cashew cream cheese frosting (recipe below)

 

Cream Cheese Frosting –

2 cups raw cashews (soaked about 1 + hour, drained and rinsed)

1/2 cup coconut or almond milk

1/2 cup maple syrup 

2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 capsule powdered probiotic or 2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon pink salt

*optional cinnamon to sprinkle on top


Directions:

In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, pink salt and baking soda. Using a whisk, mix until dry ingredients are combined.

Add the pumpkin, maple syrup and coconut oil. Form dough into a log, wrap with parchment and refrigerate for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

While your dough chills, prepare the frosting by placing all frosting ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until creamy, frosting like texture is reached. Store frosting in airtight container in refrigerator until use.

Remove chilled dough from fridge and place log on a cutting board. Cut log into circles, about 1/4 -1/2 inch thick. Place on baking sheet and bake for ten minutes. Allow to cool.

Top each cookie with a swirl of cashew cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
