Ingredients
1/2cupPumpkin purée
1Banana
1/4cupOlive oil
1tspVanilla
1/2cupSugar
1cupFlour
1/4cupCorn flour
1/2tspBaking powder
1/4tspBaking soda
Pinchof salt
1tspPumpkin spice
Icing sugarto roll the cookies
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180℃ and line a cookie tray with baking paper.
In a mixing bowl add the pumpkin puree, banana and mash well. Add the olive oil, vanilla and mix again. Pour over the castor sugar and mix to combine.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, corn flour and fold together to form a dough.
You should be able to portion out the dough with your hands into around 14 pieces. Roll each piece between your palms and dunk into powdered sugar. Place on a lined baking tray and repeat until all 14 pieces are done.
Bake at 180℃ for 10-12 mins. They will still be soft when you remove them from the oven, which is what we want. Leave to cool for 2-3 mins on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can use sweet potato purée if you like in place of the pumpkin purée.
The banana must be ripe or over ripe.
You cannot substitute the icing sugar as its this sugar that gives it the crinkle look once it bakes.
