LPLD Pumpkin Cookies
1/4 cup coconut oil (54 grams of fat total, divided by the number of cookies you make, I made 52, so just a little more than a gram per cookie! Plus since there's so many medium chain triglycerides, we count coconut oil to be half the fat that it really is)
2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or pureed yourself)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons powdered egg or 2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Mix all the wet ingredients (oil, pumpkin, extract, eggs) and sugar together. Mix all the rest of the ingredients together in a separate bowl. Stir together into one bowl slowly, combining thoroughly. Scoop heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheets (either greased, lined with parchment paper, or use stoneware; the latter is our preference). Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until just brown around the edges. Let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to cooling racks. We like to then 'frost' them by dipping them in powdered sugar, but that is optional. Makes about 50 cookies.
