Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup (80g) pumpkin purée
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp (2g) baking soda
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (1g) pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
- 1/2 cup (85g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini-muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and coconut sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Stir in the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is a uniform, sunset-orange hue.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stop mixing the moment no streaks of flour remain.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Spoon roughly 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini-muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the tops have a matte finish.
- Allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
