Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, ½ cup of erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener), 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- Add ½ cup of pumpkin puree to the dry ingredients. Mix until the pumpkin is fully incorporated and the dough starts to come together.
- Fold in ½ cup of sugar-free chocolate chips. Ensure that the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This helps them firm up before transferring them.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Harmon’s Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your pumpkin puree is at room temperature for better ingredient integration.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold ingredients to keep the cookie texture light and tender.
- Uniform Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing and even baking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container with a piece of bread to maintain moisture and softness.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Gently press some chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking for a more appealing look.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to adjust cinnamon and nutmeg to suit your taste preferences.
