    How to make Pumpkin Spice Cookies: step-by-step guide

    Cooking methods

    • Baking

    Preparation steps

    1. Gather all the necessary ingredients.
    2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
    3. Use measuring spoons and cups to portion the ingredients accurately.
    4. Have a mixing bowl, whisk, spatula, cookie scoop, and baking sheet ready.

    Cooking steps

    1. Combine the melted coconut oil, keto-friendly sweetener, pumpkin puree, and egg in a mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture until it's well blended.
    2. Add the dry ingredients, including coconut flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix everything using a spatula until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
    3. Incorporate the almond flour into the mixture and knead it until you achieve a smooth cookie dough consistency.
    4. Place the cookie dough in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes. This will help the dough firm up, making it easier to work with.
    5. While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    6. Once the dough is ready, use a cookie scoop to portion out rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
    7. To achieve the desired cookie shape, gently press down on each cookie dough ball using either your fingers or the back of a fork.
    8. Bake the cookies in the oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to avoid over-baking.
    9. Once they're done, carefully remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
    10. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures the cookies are set properly and develop a perfect texture.

    Chef's pro tip
