Makes 4 dozen cookies
For the cookies:
2 cups Coconut Sugar
1 cup Coconut Oil, melted (avocado oil is a good substitute)
15 oz. can pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups Beth Blends Flour
8 stick packs Perfect Supplements Collagen
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
For the frosting (optional)
4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup Powdered Coconut Sugar
¼ cup Greek yogurt
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl whisk together sugar, oil, pumpkin, eggs and vanilla until well combined.
Add in the flour mix, collagen, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined.
Use a small cookie scoop to place mounds of the dough onto the parchment paper.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool before frosting.
To make the frosting, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and yogurt until smooth. Frost each cookie and enjoy!
Notes:
To make powdered coconut sugar, blend regular coconut sugar until it’s a fine powder.
