Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup rice flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin purée, coconut oil, rice flour and cinnamon until well combined.
- If the dough is too dry, add more pumpkin puree. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra rice flour.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Use a heart shape cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
- Cut the heart shape in half lengthways. Gently shape the head and pinch the tail to the side.
- Use the tip of a small piping nozzle to cut out the eyes and the other end to cut out the mouths.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cookies are firm.
- Allow the treats to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Substitutions
- Replace pumpkin with butternut squash puree
- Use oat flour instead of rice flour
- Swap coconut oil for unsweetened applesauce
