I guess today was one of those days when I was craving a plate of cookies. Almost as soon as I hit publish on my previous post, I started thinking about how delicious a warm, gooey cookie would taste. I had some canned pumpkin in the fridge that needed to be used up, so I figured it was the perfect excuse to do some baking.
These Loaded Pumpkin Cookies are packed with all sort of goodies–chocolate chips, chopped dates, shredded coconut, and walnuts– so each bite keeps your taste buds guessing. The canned pumpkin gives them a soft, moist texture while the cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice add a festive fall flavor. They’re guaranteed to satisfy any cookie craving!
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups almond flour/meal
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped dates
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well until batter is blended evenly.
- Roll batter into 1-inch balls and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for approximately 13-15 minutes.
- Remove cookies from baking sheet and allow to cool on wire rack.
- Eat and enjoy!

These look great. I love pumpkin. I think Ill try these soon
I like that you used coconut and dates. I LOVE dates but never would have thought to put chopped ones in a cookie – sounds delicious!
I’ve never made cookies with so much stuff in them, but those sound soooo good! I really need to try putting dates and coconut in things, I’ve never bought either!
I have been browsing the blogosphere for a recipe to make for my friend’s b-day tonight, and I am definitely using this recipe!
Thank you!!!

YUM! Looks like a great recipe. I’ve yet to make pumpkin cookies this year (I’ve been wanting to all season) and I’m having friends over Saturday, I think that’s the perfect reason for a plate of cookies!

It’s rare to find canned pumpkin in the UK, but this has spurred me on to try!
Those look excellent! Do you think I could substitute the almond flour for regular whole wheat flour??
Sure!
Love! These look awesome!!!
Tina,
I’m glad to see your enjoying yourself more lately and posting more cookie recipes. I found you to be a little restrictive the past few months and it’s a nice change.
