Ingredients

  • 1 cup 100g almond flour
  • 6-7 tbsp 60g powdered sweetener I use Sukrin
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup 125g creamy peanut butter unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp 30g 100% pumpkin puree
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter unsalted
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 170C (350F).
  • Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl so there are no clumps left.
  • Add the peanut butter, egg, pumpkin puree, and lemon juice to the bowl and mix well with the dry ingredients until reaching an even consistency.
  • Roll the dough into 9 balls (40g each) and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving around one centimeter (half an inch) between each of them. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, then use a fork to press down the cookies into a classic crisscross pattern.
  • Pop them into the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies turn into beautiful golden color.
  • Take the baking tray out from the oven. The cookies will be very soft; that’s how they should be. They will harden while cooling down.
  • Using a plastic spatula, transfer the cookies onto a cooling rack. Let them cool completely before serving.
