Ingredients

  • 2 cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar monkfruit, or any other sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix to combine and set aside.
  • Using another bowl, add the cane sugar, coconut or brown sugar, coconut oil, egg, flax seed, vanilla, and pumpkin puree. Using an electric hand mixer at medium speed, mix until combined and smooth. About 1-2 minutes.
  • Switch the speed of mixer to low, and then add in the flour mixture. Continue mixing slowly and scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed until dough is formed.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and using a spatula, mix to combine evenly.
  • Using a medium sized cookie dough scooper, place the dough onto the sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are set and slightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them onto a cooling rack. Serve and enjoy.
