Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon for coating)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup Purecane™ zero-calorie Baking Sweetener ( 2 tablespoons for coating)
- ¼ cup Purecane™ Brown Sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
Filling Ingredients:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 cups Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice seasoning
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make Your Cookie Dough:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg, Purecane™ Brown Sweetener , Purecane™ zero-calorie Baking Sweetener and olive oil until creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
- In the meantime, whisk the flour, pumpkin pie seasoning, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together until well-combined.
- On low speed, add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until the bowl of the stand mixer. Mix for 1 minutes, then gradually sift in the flour mixture to form the cookie dough.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining baking sweetener and cinnamon together for the coating.
- Use a large cookie scooper or 2 tablespoons dough per cookie. Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place on the prepared baking pan.
Bake Your Cookies:
- Bake for 9-14 minutes, or until set and slightly crackly on top. (It is better to underbake rather than overbake these cookies, so keep a close eye around 8 minutes.)
- Let cool on the baking pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a baking pan to cool completely.
Prepare Your Frosting:
- To make the frosting, simply beat the butter until creamy on medium speed (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener and continue to beat with the handle attachment for 10-20 minutes. The filling should be light and fluffy. Fold in the vanilla.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag to make the cookie sandwiches.
- Serve and enjoy!
