Healthy Pumpkin Cookies with Chocolate Chips
These fluffy cookies are not super sweet, so you can add 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar to the batter if desired. (We like them just fine as is with the chocolate chips for sweetness!)

Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir together gently.
Dollop out 1-tablespoon sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the bottoms are lightly golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly and serve.

Notes
To store, let them cool on the baking sheet, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for 5.
Stir the batter together gently, but thoroughly.
Use raisins or dried cranberries instead of the chocolate chips if desired.
Line your baking pan with parchment paper so they easily come off the pan.
Gluten-free:
Use cup for cup gluten-free flour.
Dairy-free:
Use dairy-free chocolate chips.
You can use whole wheat pastry flour in place of the all-purpose. The cookies will likely be done on the shorter end of the baking time.
