Almond cookies with pumpkin are a cozy treat born in the spirit of autumn American cuisine. Its base is crunchy almonds complemented by the tenderness of pumpkin puree and sweet notes of maple syrup. Lemon zest adds freshness, while coconut flakes provide a light exotic touch. Thanks to the protein dough, the cookies are airy and slightly chewy inside, and their aroma tempts even before the first bite. They pair perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee on a cool morning, creating a sense of homey comfort. Such cookies can make an excellent gift or festive treat, and their simple composition makes them accessible even for beginner bakers.
