Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll them into balls, and coat with extra coconut sugar.
  6. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, flatten slightly, and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are set.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
  8. To make the drizzle, whisk together powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over the cookies before serving.

Notes

Ensure ingredients like pumpkin are at room temperature for better mixing. Do not overmix the dough for softer cookies.
