Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the pureed pumpkin, almond butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until everything is very well combined.
  • Add in the cocoa powder, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt and mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips. The cookie dough will be much wetter than regular cookie dough, similar to brownie batter.
  • Use a spoon to drop mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. If you’d like, use the spoon to shape the dough into round shapes (this is what I do). Feel free to top the dough with extra chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until the cookies have set up. For fudgy cookies, bake for 9-10 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before moving them from the cookie sheet. The cookies become more flavorful and delicious as they sit - Make them ahead of time and enjoy them the next day for the best flavor and texture!

Notes

*If using iodized table salt, reduce the amount to 1/4 tsp.
