    Directions

    1. Mix the base. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, coconut sugar, date syrup, and maple syrup until smooth and fluffy.

    2. Add the egg and mix again, then stir in the pumpkin puree.

    3. Add vanilla, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined.

    4. Add flour gradually, mixing until the dough comes together.

    5. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    6. Scoop 1.5–2 tablespoon portions of dough, roll into balls, and gently flatten on the tray.

    7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft. Repeat with remaining dough.

    8. Make the frosting. In a bowl, whip together cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and lemon juice with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

    9. Once cookies have cooled, spread a generous layer of frosting on each one.

    10. Sprinkle crushed MASA Churro chips over the top for that perfect sweet-and-crispy finish.
