Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies

Serves: 12 cookies

Per cookie: 155 calories 13.5g F / 2.5g C (net) / 4.5g P / 4.5g fiber

_______________________________________

INGREDIENTS:

🎃1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour (168g)

🎃1/2 cup erythritol, erythritol/monkfruit blend, or sweetener of choice* (96g)

🎃1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

🎃1/4 teaspoon baking soda

🎃1/2 teaspoon salt

🎃3 tablespoons pumpkin puree (45g)

🎃2 tablespoons grass-fed butter, softened (28g)

🎃2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (28g)

🎃1 egg

🎃1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

🎃1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips** (112g)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, softened butter, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, erythritol, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt.
4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheet, and flatten a bit as the cookies will not spread a lot while baking. If you want the outside of the cookies to be perfectly smooth, use slightly damp fingers to smooth them out.
6. Bake for about 12-14 minutes.
7. Allow to cool, and enjoy!

*I recommend using Lakanto’s new baking sweetener or their classic sweetener. I find the baking sweetener has absolutely no cooling effect, and provides amazing texture. You can use code SARAH for 20% off their sweeteners. Feel free to use any granulated sweetener of choice if you do not need this recipe to be keto.

**My favorite keto chocolate chips are either Lily’s Sweets or Choc Zero – for Choc Zero, you can use code SARAH for 10% off!
