Soft and delicious fall-flavored cookies made with 8 simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry! Also, this cookie recipe is extremely low in sugar. Each cookie contains less than 2 teaspoons of coconut sugar. WOW!
Ingredients in this Recipe
- pumpkin puree
- melted and cooled coconut oil
- egg
- coconut sugar
- almond flour
- baking powder (gluten free)
- pumpkin pie spice
- mini dark chocolate chips
I do not recommend substituting another flour in this recipe. Almond flour works the best.
How to Store the Cookies
Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 1-2 days, store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
What can I use if I don't have pumpkin pie spice?
If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can use a mixture of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

I am so happy to hear that! 🙂 – Krista <3
These cookies are delicious, SO soft and fluffy - I was shocked!!
I only had enough almond flour for 1/4 of the recipe (boo!), which got a little difficult with the egg, so I just mixed an egg and measured out 1 TB of it 🙂 and it was perfect! I added a splash of vanilla and dash of cinnamon for fun.
Once I get more almond flour, I hope to make a full batch of these! Thanks for the recipe!
AWESOME! This puts a big smile on my face! Thank you, Carney! 🙂 – Krista <3
