Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin purée
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, coconut sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and drop it onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten the dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips, as these cookies do not spread much during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
