    These Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cookies are unbelievably simple, soft, and full of fall flavor. Baked with coconut flour they make a great Fall low carb and gluten-free cookie.

    As with all pumpkin recipes the kitchen smelt divine when they were baking.  The smell of the pumpkin spices makes you want to bake all day. Or nip out and purchase a pumpkin spice candle if you are a pumpkin lover too!

    These keto pumpkin cream cheese cookies are soft and chewy.  If you are looking for a cookie with a crunch, these are not it.  They did not harden after being in the fridge overnight as much as I thought that they might.

    Pumpkin Cookie Ingredients

    I didn’t add an egg to this cookie mixture unlike my cream cheese cookie recipe as the pumpkin puree makes this cookie batter moist enough.

    pumpkin cookie ingredients
    • Pumpkin puree - check the can for added sugar and try to avoid the pumpkin pie filling cans as that can be full of sugar.
    • Low Carb Sweetener - we used allulose but any other low carb sweetener such as monkfruit or erythritol can be used.
    • Pumpkin spice - if you can find it in the stores, you can make your own blend from cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice and nutmeg.

    I found these pumpkin cream cheese cookies to be very filling.  At only 1g net carbohydrates each I was tempted to gorge myself on a plateful but just could not manage more than a couple at time.   Which is probably a good thing since I baked 3 batches.  That would have been rather shameful to confess to!

    How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cookies

    cookie batter

    Whisk the ingredients for a smooth cookie batter.

    Use a cookie scoop to place the cookie dough on a baking sheet.

    Recipe Tips

    These pumpkin cookies are delicate and almost like pumpkin cheesecake cookies, as they are soft in texture. They need to be cooled before handling. When kept in the fridge overnight they will firm up slightly.

    When we cook our cookies we carefully move the parchment paper from the baking sheet onto a wire rack, rather than picking up a cookie. They will break if handled when warm.

    The butter and cream cheese need to be at room temperature before mixing. The softer they are, the smoother the cookie batter will be.

    Storage

    Store the cookies in the fridge in an airtight container and they should last up to 5 days.

    Can These Cookies be Made with Almond Flour?

    If you are not a fan of coconut flour, almond flour can be used but you will need to at least double the quantity and add an egg.

      Would love some help ....made these and they didn't bake all the way through...seemingly to liquidy? I used monk fruit, does that alter the recipe?

        It shouldn't make a difference. I wonder if it's the coconut flour brand? I'm going to bake a batch this week to see if I find any problems.

        I store mine in the fridge and find that they firm up over night.

      Just made a batch -- oh my gosh!!! They may not make it to cooling, just sayin'...!
      I think next time I will make them bite sized since they are a very delicate little cookie. I used Swerve confectionery sugar measured by weight since I am new to Keto baking and I have read that ethrytol can be grainy when used in baking, but I think I will try the regular next time. Has anyone else experimented with both? Any suggestions regarding which you thought was best? Regardless, I loved these little pieces of heaven!

      I recently made these pumpkin cream cheese cookies for the moms in our homeschooling community and they were a big hit! Very soft and a bit rich; lovely variation from traditional bars and cookies.

      I will definitely make them again and will be trying your other cream cheese cookie recipes.

        I wondered about the lack of egg myself. Made them without the egg and they were good but the cookie really crumbled upon first bite and didn't hold together. Next time I will either add egg or make them smaller so they are truly bite sized.

      I just took mine out of the oven and they are yummy...I used 1/4 cup each of coconut and almond flour and 1/4 cup each of Pyure sugar and coconut sugar. As soon as they came out of the oven I topped them with grated chocolate from Lintz's 90% cacao bar. Love the texture and softness of the cookie.

      Just made these with my little girls. They're delicious!

      Did you try it with an egg? Wondering if that would make them a bit less delicate.
