Servings: 14 Cookies
Calories: 168kcal
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 3/4 tsp sea salt *
- 1 cup chocolate chips
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.
