Ingredients

  • ¾ cup creamy unsalted almond butter
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg (omit for vegan option)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (see below)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Pumpkin Pie Spice

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir until smooth.
  • Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion out batter onto prepared pans, keeping cookies well-spaced.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, depending on size of scoop, or until golden brown.
  • Cool and store in an air-tight container for several days (if they last that long!)

Pumpkin Pie Spice

  • Mix together all spices and store in a glass jar or air-tight container.

Notes

Vegan Option:

To make the cookies vegan, simply omit the egg.  The cookies will not be quite as "pillowy", but still perfectly delicious!
