This is a recipe I followed nearly to a “T” from The Frisky Lemon. These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with coconut flour & contain NO EGGS. This is pretty unusual for a coconut flour baking recipe. Usually, it is very egg heavy.
I have stated many times that I prefer baked goods made from almond flour over coconut flour. That still holds true, but I am avoiding eating nuts for a while. I also accidentally purchased a 5 lb bag of coconut flour when I meant to get flakes, so I have a lot of flour to practice with.
Everybody in the family ate this and liked them, within reason. I could tell the kids prefer the texture of almond flour over these, but they ate them up happily. The hubby was more vocal about it, but he still ate his, too. I thought they had a nice pumpkin taste and I preferred them much over any of the coconut flour goods I have made, with the exception of the chocolate cupcakes that I made from Elana’s Pantry. I will make these again soon.
