Keto Pumpkin Cookies with Chocolate Chips

We love pumpkin around here, my husband especially, so I thought I’d surprise him with homemade pumpkin cookies tonight. I haven’t had a lot of success when making keto/low carb cookies. They usually feel like a dessert of sand in my mouth, which isn’t very enjoyable. So, since my pumpkin bread has been such a hit, I thought I would tweak that recipe to make cookies instead.

I changed up the ingredients a bit so that it would make a sturdier cookie. I was very pleased with the final result. When your non-keto kids come back for seconds and thirds you know you have a winner. These cookies are very soft and chewy and the texture is different than the carb- gluten-filled cookies that we are used to in our former way of eating. However, they are very moist and flavorful.

Things to note about low carb cooking

I just want to set up the right expectation if you are brand new to following a ketogenic/low carb lifestyle. Nothing you make will taste exactly like the white flour and sugary counterparts, however, there are great alternatives out there to satisfy when cravings hit. With that being said, these Pumpkin Cookies are a fabulous option for the keto/low carb lifestyle.
