Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter melted
- 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine almond flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine, set aside.
- In a large bowl cream together melted butter and coconut palm sugar using an electric mixer. Beat for 1-2 minutes until slightly frothy. Add egg yolk, full egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla, mix until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Stir well using a wooden spoon. Add chocolate chips and stir well to combine.
- Dough will be quite soft. Cover dough with wax paper and place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven temperature to 325°
- Remove dough from refrigerator. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop drop batter onto onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Alternatively, form the dough into 1/2 inch balls.
- Press the dough down gently with your fingers to flatten the balls slightly. Do not flatten all the way.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes.
- Remove from oven (the cookies will appear soft) and place tray on a wire rack to cool. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. They will firm up as they rest and cool.
Notes
SOFTENED BUTTER VS. MELTED BUTTER
- You can use softened butter rather than melted butter in this recipe. The dough will still be quite soft and the recipe will perform better if you chill the dough
- Melted butter results in a slightly crispier edge on the cookie, whereas softened butter makes more soft and chewy cookies.
