ORGANIC AVENUE’S PUMPKIN SPICE COCONUT COOKIES
Vegan, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Nut-Free

During the holiday season, it’s impossible to escape the explosion of pumpkin everything. This nutrient-dense squash is a staple in festive treats, but often married with less-than-desirable ingredients, including refined sugars, additives and preservatives. Luckily, there are ways to enjoy a pumpkin indulgence in a balanced way, especially if you craft it in your own kitchen (and share with family and friends!). Here’s an easy-to-bake, allergy-friendly recipe for chewy pumpkin spice cookies, starring low-glycemic coconut flour. Yield: 10-12 Cookies

Ingredients:

• 5 tablespoons Coconut Flour
• 5 tablespoons Water
• ¼ cup Arrowroot Starch
• 6 tablespoons Coconut Sugar
• ¼ cup Pumpkin Puree
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice (feel free to use more if you like ‘em extra festive!)
• Pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt (to bring out the sweetness)

Directions:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350F
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
3. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until a thick, well-combined batter is formed
4. Using a rubber spatula, spoon batter onto the baking sheet. Use your hands to mold the cookies into your desired shape (works best with slightly wet hands)
5. Bake for 15 minutes, and allow to cool for an additional 15 minutes
6. Enjoy immediately, or store in a sealed container for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 14 days
