GF Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies
What I love about GF Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These gluten-free, grain-free Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the perfect nibble for after dinner during the fall months. They are entirely grain-free using just almond flour which is naturally gluten-free, grain-free and lower in carbs! The recipe is quick and easy with the addition of a little chilling time in the fridge. Chilling the dough helps the flour to absorb any excess liquid which makes for a better cookie texture once baked. I love the warming spices of cinnamon and pumpkin spice which make these cookies feel all the more cozy and delicious, especially this time of year.
