Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 tsp baking soda ensure it's fresh
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg freshly grated if possible
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree 100% pure pumpkin, not pie filling
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted but cooled
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Mixing Dough
  1. In separate large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring with wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout dough.
Shaping Cookies
  1. Using cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion dough into 1.5-inch balls.
  2. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  3. Gently flatten each ball to 1/2-inch thickness using bottom of glass (lightly moisten glass to prevent sticking).
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden.
  2. Remove from oven - centers will appear slightly underbaked.
  3. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes to set.
  4. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Store in airtight container at room temperature with slice of bread for up to 5 days. Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months or freeze dough balls for fresh-baked cookies anytime.
