Ingredients needed to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies that are Sugar Free

• Flour. All purpose flour was used to make my cookies. You can however substitute in the flour of your choice as long as it measures like all purpose flour and any needed binders are taken into consideration.
• Baking Soda. The leavener of choice for this recipe.
• Salt. You can omit this if you are using salted butter.
• Spices- Ground Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice.
• White Granulated Sugar alternative and Brown sugar alternative. For best results, select sugar alternatives that measure like sugar and that can also be baked with.
• Butter. Your butter should be softened to room temperature. Use real butter for best results.
• Vanilla Extract. Added for flavor balance.
• Egg. Your egg should be at room temperature.
• Pumpkin Puree. Use pumpkin puree that has no added ingredients in it. Canned puree is best for this recipe.
• Sugar Free Chocolate Chips. I prefer a 'milk' chocolate chip for this recipe as they are softer which goes better with the cookie texture (IMO).

How to make Sugar Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preparation Time -25 minutes
Chilling Time - 2 hours to overnight
Baking time- 15 minutes.
Servings: 32 cookies.

• In a medium bowl, use a whisk or a fork to combine together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
• Next, in a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar alternatives (both white and brown) with the butter until smooth and creamy. Then beat in the egg and the vanilla extract. Lastly, stir in the pumpkin puree until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix these ingredients until just combined (avoiding over-mixing) .
• Lastly, gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
• Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or similar seal and refrigerate the dough for at least two hours or if possible, overnight. This chilling process is key to the flavor and texture of the cookies.
• When you are ready to bake your cookies, prep two baking sheets for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper or a baking mat for a recipe such as this one. Also, preheat your oven to 350.
• Use a medium or large cookie scoop (1 ½-2") to scoop out the dough and then place the scooped cookie dough onto the baking sheets , leaving about two inches between each of the cookies. Then lightly flatten the tops of each cookie using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a mug or similar item.
• Bake your pumpkins cookies for 15 to 16 minutes or until the edges are set and are lightly golden. It is a good idea to keep an eye on the cookies while baking as you are using sugar alternatives and baking times can vary depending on your oven.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes to set before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

 
Expert Tip👉 If you are in doubt about whether the cookies are done, gently tap the top center of the cookies to see if they are soft but set and look at the bottom to see if they are golden brown.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Chilling the dough is an important step in this recipe. Not only does chilling the dough allow for the flavors to meld together, it also helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during the baking process.
2. Vanilla extract is used to balance out the flavors in this cookie recipe. However, you could use another extract, such as maple extract, to make these cookies taste more seasonal.
3. When selecting a pumpkin puree, it is best to use a canned version rather than making your own as a canned version has already been cooked. Just make sure that you pumpkin puree has no added ingredients (such as sugar added to it).
