- Pinch of clove powder
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg powder
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 1/2 cup pumpkin pureed or mashed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp apple sauce

- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts

Mix the oat flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg in a bowl

Mix the pureed pumpkin, vanilla, apple sauce, coconut sugar and macadamia or almond butter in a separate bowl
-
Mix the ingredients of both bowls together. Form into a dough and add the crushed peanuts
-
Put the dough in the freezer to harden up for around 1/2 an hour. Take out of the freezer and form into one inch balls. Then put on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Press each one down with a fork to make an indent in the cookies
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 190℃ for 15 minutes, until browned and hard on top
-
Take out cookies and let cool on a cooling rack for 30 minutes
-
To make the icing, put all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until well incorporated. Store in the fridge to harden up for around 20 minutes
-
After the cookies are cool, spread about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the icing on the bottom of one cookie and place another cookie on top, pressing down slightly so they join together

Then feel free to stuff your face!
