Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today we’re sharing another great recipe; this time from My Natural Family:

These are not too sweet, full of pumpkin spice flavor, and have that cake-y texture that you would expect from a pumpkin cookie. There is only 1 T. of oil in the whole batch and only 2 T. of honey. I used a little apple sauce to help
sweeten it, too. As with most paleo baked goods, these are the very best on the same day they are baked. I’ve noticed that paleo baked goods dry out faster than their non-paleo counterparts.
