Who doesn’t love a cookie, especially one with pumpkin and chocolate? The recipe will make 36 cookies, so there are plenty to share (or keep for yourself).
These soft, cake like cookies are not only filled with pumpkin but they are made with coconut oil, coconut sugar and whole grain einkorn flour.
Not familiar with coconut sugar? It has a rich, deep flavor plus several health benefits. Coconut sugar has been known to be lower on the glycemic index compared to regular table sugar. This is an indicator for blood sugar spikes, an very important topic for someone with diabetes. Coconut sugar also has some minerals like iron, zinc, calcium and potassium.
What is einkorn flour. Einkorn flour is an ancient wheat grain that has not been hybridized. This means that it isn’t similar to the mass marketed wheat that is available today that has been crossbred over the years. Some people who suffer from gluten sensitivity are able to consume einkorn flour.
Coconut oil is a staple at my house and used in most of my baking. This is great fat source and alternative to over processed vegetable oils.
