  • 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup of molasses
  • 2 tablespoons of vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar for coating
  • 2 tablespoons of cinnamon for coating

Instructions

  • Gather all of your ingredients. The best place to find almond flour? Balk barn! Check it out.
  • Measure out all the spices and get the oil and the pumpkin puree ready to go. The star? High quality molasses. Be sure you use the best.
  • In your mixer, combine all of the dry ingredients - the first 6 on the list above.
  • Next, in a separate bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients - the next 4 ingredients.
  • Then, add the wet to the dry ingredients. Combine well.
  • Roll into a large ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Let it sit in the fridge for 25 minutes.
  • Set the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Take out the chilled dough and roll into 3/4 inch balls. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together for the coating. Roll the ball in the coating.
  • Lay out all of the cookie balls on a lined baking sheet and then press with a glass.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let them cool and then you're done! Time to eat up.
