Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups almond flour A gluten-free base that provides a nutty flavor and tender texture.
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot starch Acts as a thickening agent, giving the cookies a soft and chewy consistency.
  • 1 tsp baking soda Helps the cookies rise and achieve a soft, fluffy texture.
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice A blend of warm spices that enhances the fall flavor profile.
  • 1/4 tsp salt Balances the sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients together and adds richness.
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree Adds moisture, flavor, and seasonal flair.
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil or butter Contributes to a rich flavor and moisture.
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar A natural sweetener with a hint of caramel flavor.
Add-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Adds sweetness and melty goodness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg, pumpkin puree, coconut oil, and coconut sugar. Mix until combined.
  3. Gradually incorporate almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt into the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to ensure even distribution.
  5. Use a cookie dough scooper to portion out 12 balls of dough and place them onto a greased baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For best results, use homemade pumpkin puree and ensure that the dough is not overmixed after adding chocolate chips. Allow cookies to cool before serving for the best flavor and texture.
