Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 2 cups Blanched Almond Flour
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Erythritol Sweetener
  • 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Butter, Softened
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the Frosting

  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2 tbsp Butter, Softened
  • 1/3 cup Powdered Erythritol Sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Equipment

  • hand mixer

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the pumpkin puree on a double layer of paper towels, cover with another towel and press gently to blot out the extra moisture. This keeps the cookies soft instead of soggy.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt until no lumps remain.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sweetener for about 1 minute until creamy. Add the blotted pumpkin, egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb the moisture.
  • Scoop the dough into 16 mounds, about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten each one to about 1/2 inch thick with damp fingers, since these cookies do not spread much on their own.
  • Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the tops feel set.
    Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet. They are fragile while warm and firm up as they cool.
  • Beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, vanilla and cinnamon until fluffy and smooth. Spread a generous layer over each cooled cookie and serve.
