Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Canned pumpkin is one of my favorite pantry items. It not only adds wonderful flavor to these cookies, but it also provides fiber. I have these as a snack or a grab a couple for breakfast to help me stay full until lunchtime. If you want to make these vegan, simply swap in vegan chocolate chips.

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Combine melted coconut oil, pumpkin puree, coconut sugar (or brown sugar), vanilla extract and egg in a mixing bowl until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, combine chickpea flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon and salt. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.

4. Place the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (8 cookies per baking sheet). Bake for 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then cool on wire racks.
