Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Vanilla Cinnamon Icing

This cookie has been our favorite for the past couple of months.  I am sure it has something to do with the fact that they are pumpkin and I am a sucker for that!  They are pretty simple to make and even easier to eat!  My son loves stealing them before I have even frosted them. 
Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 tbs coconut flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • dash of sea salt
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Icing
  • 1 tbs raw honey
  • 2 tbs coconut butter
  • 2 tbs coconut milk
  • 1 tsp palm shortening or butter
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix together the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the maple syrup, pumpkin, egg and vanilla.
  4. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet while the mixer is running.
  5. Scoop golf ball sized amounts of dough onto a lined cookie sheet. Press down lightly with your palm to flatten them a bit.
  6. Bake for 18 minutes at 350 degrees. Let them cool completely.
  7. While the cookies are cooling, make the icing by pureeing all of the ingredients in a blender or a small food processor.  Leave at room temperature until you are ready to frost the cookies.
