The best paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
These paleo chocolate chip cookies are soft baked, full of delicious fall flavours & rich, melty chocolate chips. Whether or not you follow a grain-free or paleo diet, this recipe is sure to please everyone!
Dairy-free paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
These paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are naturally dairy-free as I used coconut oil in place of butter or other milk product. I love baking with coconut oil & I find in this recipe you really cannot taste any of the coconut. If you are worried about that simply opt for refined coconut oil which has the coconut flavour removed.
Can these paleo chocolate chip cookies be made low-carb?
Yes! I recommend swapping the coconut sugar with Golden Lakanto to keep this recipe lower in sugar & carbs if desired.
Grain-free paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
The flours I used in this recipe are superfine almond flour & coconut flour. I love using these two flours in a combination for paleo baking. The almond flour adds a great texture while the coconut flour really helps bind the cookies & helps hold them together.
Tips for the best paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
I highly recommend trying to resist the cookies when they first come out of the oven. Letting them sit on the pan to cool helps them hold together so much better. If you lift them up too soon after baking they are very likely to break apart.
What you will need for these paleo chocolate chip cookies:
- coconut oil, softened (use this one for no coconut flavour)
- coconut sugar (or Golden Lakanto for lower sugar/carb)
- superfine almond flour
- coconut flour
- vanilla extract
- baking soda
- pumpkin purée
- 1 egg
- collagen peptides
- pumpkin pie spice
- cinnamon
- pink salt (plus flaky salt to top on the cookies, optional)
- chocolate chips (I like these for dairy-free & these for sugar-free)
How to store these cookies
I like to store them in an air-sealed container on the counter. I actually find they are even better the day after baking! You can also store them in the fridge.
Do these cookies freeze well?
Yes! I would freeze them individually or at least keep them well separated in the packaging so they do not stick together & are easy to remove from the freezer. You can allow them to thaw in the fridge or heat them up in the microwave when you wish to enjoy one.

Description
These paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, rich & packed with pumpkin spice, cinnamon & melty chocolate chips! They are paleo, gluten, dairy, grain & refined sugar-free!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, softened (use this one for no coconut flavour)
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or Golden Lakanto for lower sugar/carb)
- 1 + 1/2 cup superfine almond flour
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup collagen peptides
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp pink salt (plus flaky salt to top on the cookies, optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I like these for dairy-free & these for sugar-free)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F & line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl cream the coconut oil & coconut sugar together.
- Add in the almond & coconut flour, mixing well.
- Then mix in the rest of the ingredients to form a dough.
- I made larger cookies (a few tbsp per cookie) rolled them into a ball & flattened them on the pan to the size I wanted. Topped each cookie with some flaky sea salt & a few more chocolate chips.
- Bake for 11-15 minutes, depending on your oven & size of cookies. I baked mine for about 11-13 minutes & they were perfect.
- Allow to cool on the pan before removing or they can break apart*. Store in an air sealed container & enjoy!
Notes
*I highly recommend trying to resist the cookies when they first come out of the oven. Letting them sit on the pan to cool helps them hold together so much better. If you lift them up too soon after baking they are very likely to break apart.

Can I replace or leave out the collagen peptides?
I haven’t tried anything myself! I find it acts as a good binder & I did have someone tell me they used a bit of ground flax instead & they worked out! Let me know if you try any subs & how they work! If I was to try it with flax I would do 2-3 tbsp.
