No Bake Paleo Pumpkin Cookies

Yeah more pumpkin! This weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my friend in Orange County. I haven’t been to a pumpkin patch in years, and it was so much fun! Pumpkins as far as the eye can see! After an hour of walking around, we both settled on a couple of pumpkins. I’m still debating if mine will be for decoration or pumpkin puree! 

It’s starting to feel a little like fall in LA with cool rains dampening the constant sunshine. After my major fail pumpkin dessert, I decided to try one a little less labor intensive. These cookies are awesome and so easy to make! They aren’t too pumpkin-y if you aren’t 100% on the pumpkin bandwagon. 

Ingredients

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup almond butter

1/3 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp cloves

1/4 tsp allspice

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut 

Directions

Mix everything except coconut in a large microwave safe bowl. Stir until well combined and nuke for 20 seconds. You can skip this step if you don’t like using the microwave, but it melds the flavors of the sauce. In the same bowl, add in shredded coconut. Mix well. Scoop 1 tablespoon mounds onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silicon mat. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set. Move to airtight container and store in fridge for up to 5 days. This makes 18 cookies.  

Enjoy!
