  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered allulose * see notes in post for substitutions
  • 1 tsp vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

Pumpkin Cookie Dough

  • Sift almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, protein powder, salt, and spices into a medium-sized bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a bowl with a hand mixer, blend cream cheese, butter, and allulose until well blended.
  • Add the egg and vanilla to the allulose and butter mixture and blend well.
  • Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until everything is blended.
  • Cover and chill for at least one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment.
  • Roll heaping tablespoons onto the cookie sheet. Gently press down.
  • Bake for 16-17 minutes or until the cookies turn golden around the edges.
  • Pull the cookie tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the tray.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Cube one cup of cold full-fat cream cheese and add it to the bowl of a stand mixer and blend for 1 minute, until the cream cheese has no lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
  • Add vanilla and powdered allulose.
  • Add 1/2 cup of full-fat whipping cream to the bowl and mix on low for 30 seconds, until blended with cream cheese. Turn up to medium and then high until the whipped cream and cream cheese fluff up and resemble buttercream frosting.
  • Do not overbeat. Over beating will cause the mixture to liquefy.
  • Spread frosting over the cookies and sprinkle with a tiny bit of cinnamon.

  • Be sure to sift all the dry ingredients.
  • Don’t skip the protein powder, it’s the ingredient that helps hold everything together in this recipe.
