Ingredients
  

  • 1 flax egg
  • ½ cup coconut oil (solidified)
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup Lakanto
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • cup pumpkin puree
  • cup flour (I used a gluten free flour blend)

  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (plus more for topping)
  • maldon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare flax egg and set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl combine coconut oil and sweetener.
  • Using an electric beater blend together then add vanilla, molasses and pumpkin puree and beat again until smooth.
  • Add dry to wet folding in until no dry remains. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Place batter in the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375.
  • Form cookies with your hands and place on parchment or silicone pad.
  • Place extra nuts and chocolate chips on top of each cookie (totally optional but makes them look good) and sprinkle with Maldon sea salt. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before they are moved.
  • Store in the fridge.
