Yield: 48 treats (using a medium-size cookie cutter)
Calories: 85kcal
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Cookie cutter
Materials
- 1 15- ounce can pumpkin puree
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ⅔ cups coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, peanut butter, coconut oil, and eggs until smooth.
- Add in the turmeric, cinnamon, and coconut flour. Mix until well combined. Let rest for about 5-10 minutes to thicken. Coconut flour NEEDS this time to absorb the moisture. If your dough is too moist, let it sit longer.
- Layout a piece of parchment paper and place the dough on top. Then place another piece of parchment on top of that. Roll the dough between the parchment sandwich until the dough is about ¼” thick.
- Remove the top layer of parchment paper, and then cut using cooking cutters. Remove the dough scraps (but leave the cutouts behind), and transfer the parchment sheet with the cutouts directly to a large baking sheet.
- Combine the scraps, place between two sheets of new parchment, and roll, cut, and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the cookies are dry and hard. Let cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
Notes
- This is a very soft dough to work with!
- For an optional (cute!) glaze, mix together ¼ cup peanut butter with 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil. Place in a ziptop bag, snip off the corner, and drizzle on. The glaze will harden in the fridge, but might be a bit soft at room temperature. Keep the biscuits unglazed if planning on packaging.
