Dry Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour*
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
“Wet” Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cane sugar*
- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4.5 tbsp coconut oil (melted)*
- 3.5 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 3 tbsp milk of choice (or a touch more if your dough seems a bit dry)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325ºf or 160ºc.
- Put dry ingredients in a medium size bowl. Mix until all the spices are nicely dispersed.
- Put wet ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together until very smooth and creamy.
- Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix the dry and the wet together until you form a ball with the dough. I find working the dough with clean hands works the best!
- Leave the dough to chill out in the fridge for at-least 30 minutes.
- Put cinnamon and sugar in a small dish. Mix. Roll cookie dough into little balls (1 tbsp size for medium size or 1 tsp size for mini cookies). Roll the cookies around a bit in the dish until the “cookie balls” are lightly covered with cinnamon.
- Place cookie dough balls onto lightly oiled cookie sheet.
- Flatten cookies out slightly with your palm (they will puff up again!)
- Bake for ten minutes.
- Let sit for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet and Voila! Enjoy!
Notes
- – These cookies work great with white whole wheat or all-purpose flour.
- – If you don’t have cane sugar on hand use white or a light brown sugar.
- – If you don’t have any coconut oil on hand you can also use walnut oil, canola oil, peanut oil…
- – If you want to make these cookies lower in fat you can try subbing some of the coconut oil for pumpkin puree but this will result in a “cakier” cookie.
- – Make sure to leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for ten minutes… they will continue cooking a little bit and will be much easier to transfer (hehe, I admit, I “tested” one when they came out of the oven 😉 They pumpkin spice and cinnamon sugar smell soo good… it’s almost impossible not to!)
