Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.In a stand mixer bowl, or a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth on medium-speed. Add in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and molasses and beat on low speed until well combined. Set aside.Next, add the flour, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda. On low speed, beat until all of the ingredients are well combined. Please note at this point, the batter will be thick.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Place heaping tablespoons (about 1 1/2-2 tablespoons) on the prepared baking sheet. You may also use a cookie scoop. Flatten the cookie lightly, as they will not spread much during baking.
