- Dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut sugar, coconut flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal which is too gritty.
- Wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, vanilla extract and coconut oil.
- Chocolate chips - I like use dark chocolate chips but you could also use milk chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- Feel free to add a little pumpkin pie spice to give this cookie dough a different flavour.
- If you don't have coconut sugar you can use brown sugar instead.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts to give it more texture.
- Turn these into pumpkin cookie dough bites by rolling the dough into 1 inch balls. Then let them set in the fridge for about 30 minutes before enjoying.
How to make edible pumpkin cookie dough:
- Step 1: Add all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, to a large bowl.
- Step 2: Stir everything well until you have a smooth dough.
- Step 3: Add the chocolate chips to the bowl.
- Step 4: Stir in the chocolate chips and then serve and enjoy!
Top tips:
- Be sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling is too sweet.
- Do not try swapping the coconut flour for another flour.
- Do not try baking this cookie dough into cookies. The dough doesn't contain eggs or any leavening agents so the cookies wouldn't turn out well.
- Storage: store any leftover cookie dough in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If it gets a little dry in the fridge stir in a bit of water or milk (I like coconut milk) before serving. It also freezes really well in an airtight container or freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
