Flourless Pumpkin Coconut Butter Cookies

Servings: 15-18
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees ºF.

Place the coconut cream concentrate, pumpkin and egg in a food processor and combine until smooth. Add in the sweetener, spices and salt and mix well. Place the batter in a bowl and stir in chocolate chips, if using.

Spoon the dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Slightly press down the dough since these will not spread. If dough is too sticky, bake for a few minutes, remove and then you will be able to press down.

Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Remove cookies and place on a cooling rack to set up. Store in an airtight container, I prefer a glass jar.

Notes
*To soften the coconut cream concentrate, place the jar into a saucepan filed with water. Heat over medium heat until it has softened.
