These almond flour * pumpkin cookies are not too sweet, full of pumpkin spice flavor, and have that cakey texture that you would expect from pumpkin cookies. Not to brag, but these are really good.

Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe (Gluten-Free, Clean Eating, Dairy-Free)

My mother-in-law brought me some regular pumpkin chocolate chip cookies the day I was working on these and I didn’t even want to eat them because I liked these cookies better.  These aren’t very sweet. There is only 1 T. of oil in the whole batch and only 2 T. of honey. I used a little applesauce to help sweeten it too.

When I was growing up, my mom always made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and cake in the fall. Now that I’m on the Paleo diet, I was missing that combo, so I set out to come up with a Paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe that was good enough I wouldn’t miss my mom’s cookies.

As with most Paleo baked goods, these are the very best on the same day they are baked. I’ve noticed that generally, Paleo baked goods dry out faster than their non-Paleo counterparts.

I love to make cookies like these to put in my children’s lunches because they taste good, so they are motivated to eat the healthy part of their lunch, but because there are healthy things with substance in them too, like pumpkin and almond flour.

I’ve even been known to eat healthy cookies like these for breakfast. Because, these are basically flat muffins and muffins are a breakfast food, so why not? Well, you shouldn’t do that every day, but it works fine for a special breakfast.

Please let me know if you try these cookies and if you like them and what you eat them with and for what meal. I’m sure others will appreciate your comments.

    I love them! I did alter the recipe a bit. No applesauce and 3 T honey and 2 T coconut oil. Yummy. I enjoy your recipes and your family blog. Thanks!

    These are great, but need much more than 8-9 minutes to cook.

    Wow these are good! I will definitely be adding this to my keep list. I used a sweet potato instead of pumpkin (didn’t have any)

    These cookies look so great! I’m excited to try them for my kids. My four year old says pumpkin is her favorite vegetable, which I find darling. My two are always asking for desert, and this will hit the spot. Thanks for the recipe!
