Ingredients
For the Batter
- 2 cups almond flour superfine, blanched
- ¼ cup butter unsalted, or coconut oil
- 1 egg large
- ¼ cup cream cheese at room temperature
- ⅓ cup sweetener
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum
For the Pumpkin Pie Filling
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Make the Cookie Dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter (or coconut oil), cream cheese, and sweetener. Mix the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, continuing to mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Once the dough is ready, cover it and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- Make the Pumpkin Pie Filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, pumpkin purée, cornstarch, sea salt, pumpkin pie spice, and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
- Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Assemble the Cookies. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten it slightly using a spoon or a tablespoon to measure and form a cookie base.
- Place the cookie base on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Add the Filling. Use a teaspoon to add a dollop of the pumpkin pie filling to the center of each cookie base. Be careful not to overfill.
- Bake the Cookies. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the filling is set.
