Print Recipe

Prep Time 30

Cook Time 15

Ingredients

2/3 cup Pumpkin puree NOT pie mix
1/4 cup Creamy peanut butter
2 Eggs
3 cups Oat Flour Or use a combination of oat flour, almond flour and coconut flour.
Red & Green Natural food coloring

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350*. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside
In your mixer or food processor, combine pumpkin, peanut butter and eggs and mix.
Gradually add flour and mix until just incorporated
Remove the dough from the mixer and knead until smooth
If coloring the dough, split the dough in half. Flatten the dough and place food coloring in the center, folding it over and kneading the food coloring into the dough until desired color is reached.
To make multi-colored cookies, take dough from each color, and combine into one rounded dough ball 1-2" around. Continue until you have used all the dough.
Place each dough ball on the prepared pan. Flatten with the bottom of a water glass. (Or whiskey glass, if you prefer!)
Decorate using cookie cutters pressed into dough to make an imprint. (Optional but super cute.)
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bottoms begin to brown.
Package and freeze, or refrigerate.

Notes

As you read above, I messed around with this recipe quite a bit. I think my biggest disappointment was the coloring of the dough. If I were to make it again, I would suggest making 2 recipes of the dough, and add the food coloring before adding the flour. That will make a huge difference in the coloring.
