Servings: 15 pieces
Calories: 121kcal
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp psyllium husk
- 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice or to taste
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup butter at room temp
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol adjust if needed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup keto chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered erythritol until light and fluffy with the electric hand mixer. Mix the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using your silicone spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined.
- Using the medium cookie scoop (or a tablespoon as a scoop), drop the rounded balls of dough onto the bakin sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. Press down gently on each ball to flatten them slightly.
Cooking Steps
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep in mind that almond flour takes longer to cook than wheat flour.
- Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- As the cookies are cooling, they are ready to be served. I will say that they are best when fully cooled as the “soft-baked” effect is amazing then.
Notes
Remember to lightly press down on each cookie; otherwise, you will end up with cookie balls instead of traditional cookies. Almond flour bakes differently than wheat flour.
