Family FAVORITE Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Cookies (Gluten Free)

Light & Perfect Snickerdoodles!

Ingredients:
3 cups almond flour
1 cup coconut flour
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice**
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups Lakanto Classic monkfruit sweetener (or granulated sweetener of choice)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon maple extract
4 large eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
Cinnamon Sugar:
6 tablespoons Lakanto Classic monkfruit sweetener
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Method:
Whisk together the flours, cream of tartar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt until well mixed. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, monkfruit sweetener, extracts, eggs and pumpkin with an electric mixer until creamy and well mixed. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the creamed ingredients, just until blended. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer.
In a small bowl, stir together the monkfruit sweetener and cinnamon. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350*. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. 
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Form spoonfuls of the cookie dough into balls. (about 1 1/2 inches diameter) Roll in the cinnamon sugar.*** Place the sugared balls, a couple of inches apart, on the prepared cookie sheets. With your fingers flatten the balls to create discs about a 1/2 inch in thickness. 

Bake for 5 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for another 5 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
