  3. In a large separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and pumpkin protein powder.
  4. Add the solid coconut oil chunks, and using a fork combine all until only small pieces are left and it has a moist and fluffy texture.
  5. Take a wooden spoon and slowly stir whilst pouring in slowly the first bowl with the dairy free milk and pumpkin mix. Only add what you feel is needed, until just slightly combined and slightly sticky.
  6. Next, make a dough ball and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface. Taking your round biscuit cutter and making as many as you can out of the rolled dough and rerolling as necessary to make more round biscuit cut outs.

Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free Creamy Dreamy Vanilla Frosting Recipe:

  1. Place all ingredients for the frosting in a food processor or high powered blender on high until the texture is smooth like cream, starting with ½ teaspoon of liquid stevia at first, adding more only you like it sweeter.
  2. The milk should also only be added a little at a time, as too much will make it too watery and with the right consistency achieved, the frosting does not need refrigerating once on the cookies.
  3. Using a spoon, spread the frosting over each biscuit in a circle motion, starting in the middle and leaving a little of the edge uncovered.
  4. Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, alternatively it can be frozen for 3 months.

As an alternative topping, you can also try half dipping the biscuits into melted high-quality dark chocolate!
