Festive Pumpkin Cookies

✅1 cup almond flour

✅ 2 Tbsp chia seeds

✅ 1 tsp cinnamon

✅ ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

✅ 1 tsp baking soda

✅ 3 Tbsp maple syrup

✅ ¼ c pumpkin or butternut squash puree

✅ 2 Tbsp butter, softened

✅ 1 egg

✅ 1 tsp vanilla extract

✅ ½ c dried cranberries or pumpkin seeds

✅ Sea Salt for garnish, if desired

1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan

with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, chia seeds,

cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda (and liver powder if

adding)

3. Then, add in all remaining ingredients except cranberries or

pumpkin seeds. Stir to combine. ( Once I combined all the ingredients I felt like the batter was too watery so I added more flour until I got it to a consistency I could hold and mold )

4. Once a thick batter has formed, fold in cranberries or pumpkinseeds.

5.Use a cookie scoop to scoop 1 inch balls of dough onto lined baking

pan.

6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are set in the middle.

7. Remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes.

Then transfer carefully to a wire rack to cool.

8. Finally, sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
