Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg, pumpkin puree, coconut oil, and coconut sugar. Mix well until combined.
  3. Gradually incorporate almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Use a cookie dough scooper to portion out 12 balls of dough and place them onto a greased baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 11–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For perfect cookies, consider using homemade pumpkin puree for a richer flavor. Chill the dough before scooping to help maintain shape while baking.
