Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together white whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and fine sea salt.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and mix just until combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
  6. Drop cookie dough on the baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart, optionally topping with extra chocolate chips.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and are perfect with coffee or tea. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week or frozen for up to three months. For variations, consider adding nuts or using dried fruits.
