Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups wholewheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (see notes)
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup granulated stevia (can sub regular granulated sugar)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • powdered erythritol or powdered sugar to serve.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl use a whisk, electric hand mixer, or stand mixer to cream together the butter, pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, and granulated stevia until well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and combine.
  • Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
  • Using clean hands roll the cookie dough into rough tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Pop into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. The cookies should have a cakey texture.
  • Serve as is or sprinkle the cookies with powdered erythritol or powdered sugar.

Notes

Pumpkin purée
Not to be confused with pumpkin pie filling, pumpkin purée can be found in most grocery stores in the US. Outside of the US, it can be harder to find. Make your own by roasting some pumpkin cubes and then blending until smooth.
Storing and Freezing
Allow cookies to cool to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container on the bench for up to 1 week. Can also be frozen in a freezer-friendly container for up to 3 months.
