Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

This past weekend the boys and I decided to make two different types of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies after we completed all our errands on Saturday.

We had a blast and to be honest I think they are getting better each time at making less and less of a mess. However, while the cookies were cooking you can guarantee they didn’t stick around till they heard the oven timer go off. They were bummed they had to wait a few minutes but they understood.

My Opinion: One was made with whole wheat flour and was absolutely amazing. The second one was with coconut flour which wasn’t bad but on the dry side even with the addition of extra pumpkin, an extra egg, and 1 cup of milk. However, read down and see which ones were the boy’s favorites.

I am still working on this recipe with different flours but almond, white, or even whole wheat flour you can use this recipe.

Benefits of Pumpkin:

Per Healthline,  pumpkin is full of tons of health benefits which I will be sharing below a brief summary as you may also read more about pumpkin on my Pumpkin Dip recipe post.

1. Highly Nutritious and Particularly Rich in Vitamin A

3. Packs Vitamins That May Boost Immunity, Protect Eyesight

4. Nutrient Density and Low-Calorie Count Which May Promote Weight Loss

6. Contains Compounds That Promote Healthy Skin

Overall, Luke loves the coconut flour ones that were a little on the dry side, but then again he doesn’t really care for sweets much. Jack picked the whole wheat ones just like his momma. I did not sway anyone though as I waited till both of them completed there taste test before I had a chance too.
