Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup almond butter (give it a good stir before measuring)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with baking mats or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the almond butter, pumpkin puree, lemon juice, vanilla extract, arrowroot powder, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a glass measuring cup, mix together the maple syrup and hot water. Pour into the bowl with other ingredients.
  4. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on low until combined. Increase the speed to medium and mix until totally smooth.
  5. Scoop the cookie dough (in 2 tablespoon mounds) onto the prepared baking sheets. You should have 16-18 cookies. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Let cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire baking rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
  7. If storing more than a day, store leftover cookies in the refrigerator. Heat the cookies for 5 seconds in the microwave before serving if desired.

Notes

- Don't overmix the dough once the wet and dry ingredients are combined; mix just until smooth to keep the cookies tender.
- For perfectly round cookies, use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop. This also ensures even baking.
- These cookies store beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a fresh-baked feel.
