We’re in the thick of fall and you know what that means – pumpkin spice is out and proud! Not only are these cookies quintessential fall, but they up their game even more with the addition of delicious dark chocolate chunks! What’s more, these bad boys are Keto friendly (yay!). The use of pumpkin spice in these cookies just puts you right in the fall mood. The almond flour make these cookies beautifully soft, moist, and delicious! They’re the perfect finish to any meal.
Enjoy with your favorite warm, fall drink (maybe a Pumpkin Spiced Latte if you’re really a pumpkin lover!) and try not to eat the whole batch!
