LOW FODMAP SWEDISH MACAROON TEA CAKES

Steps:

• To make cookie base: In a large bowl, blend together softened butter, pumpkin puree, and sugar until well mixed. Beat in egg, vanilla, and cinnamon. Gradually add in flour, stirring until completely mixed.
• In a greased mini muffin tin, drop teaspoon portions of batter into the bottom of each cup. Gently press batter over bottom and slightly up the sides to form a cup. Place in freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325°F.
• To make almond filling: Beat egg whites until light and foamy. Gradually beat in sugar until well blended. Gently fold in almond meal, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
• Remove muffin tin from the freezer. Fill each cup with the almond filling. Bake until almond filling is set and just starting to turn golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven. Optional: While still warm, gently press a pecan piece on to the top of each cookie. Allow cookies to cool before serving.
