Think I can blow your minds again this week? Well I think I can with this recipe. And no, Strength and Sunshine is not having an identity crisis. You came to the right blog! You may just have thought that I just never share dessert recipes, and that is true (somewhat). Anything I make as a dessert can double as a breakfast and vice versa. So can these cookies, but I’ll just call them dessert (play along). The only time I do “bake” more “dessertish” recipes is during this start of the holiday season, Fall and Winter. So the recipes usually include some pumpkin and fun like these cocoa pumpkin cookies and this crustless pumpkin pie. However, these are no ordinary pumpkin cookies, you see.
You see, I happen to have some really awesome friends who just so happen to create some really awesome “flours”. I’ve been able to make grainless butternut squash bread, apple gingerbread muffins, and sweet potato chocolate chip pancakes. I’ve always been blown-away but the creativity and ground-breaking products Anti-Grain Foods has produced. When they came out with their new organic pumpkin flour this year, I knew the lives of pumpkin loving fiends were about to change forever.
This flour is so ground-breaking that it got me to bake cookies! I mean, that’s telling you something! Crazy thing is, I had zero intention of baking cookies with the flour. I had 2 other recipe ideas in my head to make first. One was a sort of breakfast cake and the other was some doughnuts. (Those will still happen, don’t worry!). I even had out my baking pan and my doughnut pan, while mixing together ingredients, not a cookie thought in my mind.
But then as the dough I’d made took its form, I felt it with my hands and thought no. NO! This isn’t cake or doughnut dough…this is COOKIE DOUGH! I didn’t want to add any cocoa powder or a few other things I had planned for the other recipes since I wanted to keep this perfect texture intact. But if this dough was meant to make cookies, it needed something extra to make them stand out even more in this crazy world of pumpkin love.
That’s when I started thinking about just what makes a pumpkin loving fiend go crazy this time of year. I’ve heard about this thing that makes them swoon. I believe it’s called the Pumpkin Spice Latte (or PSL for those who can’t handle the whole title). I’ve never had my own firsthand encounter with this majestic latte from Starbucks, but I do know (how could you not) that it’s extremely popular and lusted over until the season finally comes. Since I won’t be drinking one any time in the near future, I though I might as well appease myself as well are the loving fiends with the lovely taste in cookie form! (I’m also not one for drinks anyway.)
But maybe the greatest part about these pumpkin spice latte cookies is that fact that they have REAL pumpkin and not some fake concoction that Starbucks was trying to pass off as pumpkin these last few years (until they changed it this year). To keep the pumpkin and pumpkin flour the stars with highlights from the flavor of the latte, I didn’t want to take away from the allergy-free and grainlessness. You won’t find nuts in the form of almond flour here, nor will you find the trendy bandwagon of “bean” desserts happening today. Although I do think beans are good with pumpkin. So I’m pretty sure I nailed the dessert of the season for all my food allergy friends. #1 goal? Accomplished!
These cookies are thick, soft, fluffy pillows of pumpkin love. When you roll and flatten them a bit in to discs, your hands turn a bit orange (don’t worry, it rinses right off…but it also gave me the idea of dressing up as a pumpkin for Halloween). They’re healthy and nourishing enough for a fun breakfast treat, a snackable coffee extra, or of course the dessert they are meant to be. I also had to make them just a tad more fun by adding my favorite allergy-free Sprinklez since sprinkles make everything just that much more amazing! Right?

Aren’t these orange discs of pumpkin love just beckoning you? I know they are for me! If my photos aren’t enticing your enough, then let me tell you about the lovely smell these emit as they’re baking! Pure Fall happiness! Taking these pictures and trying to hold myself back from devouring the plate was rather difficult. They made me want a huge mug of coffee to dip them into 😉 Now that’s an idea! Just take black coffee and dip these pumpkin spice latte cookies in the coffee to make you’re own “PSL” 😉 Hahahaha!
So tell me:
+ Are you a PSL fan? I’m pretty content with just the cookies 😉
+ Soft cookies or crispy cookies? Soft, thick, and chewy please!

October 8, 2015 at 12:38 pmI have never heard of pumpkin flour but I love using new products! This would be great for a crust!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
October 8, 2015 at 12:44 pmIt’s fantastic, but definitely not substantial enough to be a crust on its own!
Chelc | Inside the Fox Den says

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
October 8, 2015 at 11:31 amThanks!

Liz says
October 3, 2015 at 6:48 pmI’ve only had a Starbuck’s pumpkin spiced latte once (a couple of years ago) and thought it was too sweet and faintly pretty awful. These look WAY better and healthier to boot. I didn’t know Starbuck’s didn’t use real pumpkin.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
October 3, 2015 at 6:52 pmNever have to have that latte again 😉
Liz says
October 6, 2015 at 2:04 amOnce is enough!
Sarah says
October 3, 2015 at 1:54 pmOh wow! Your cookies are screaming, asking me to eat them :O I wish! They look so delicious

Kerri McGrail says
October 2, 2015 at 6:55 pmNo PSL for me but I will take some of these cookies! These looks so delicious! And pumpkin flour- I’ve never heard of that before! That sounds so interesting. I’ll have to try making some pumpkin cookies of my own!

Kaila (GF Life 24/7) says
October 2, 2015 at 8:36 amI’ve never had a PSL either, but these look fantastic!! I love the sprinkles on top. It kind of makes them seem Halloween-themed to me too. You always come up with such creative recipes, and I appreciate how you let us in on your thought process. Happy FF, and have a fabulous weekend! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

September 30, 2015 at 4:30 pmThese look delicious. I’m having a cup of tea right now and one of these cookies would go down really well right now (especially as I’m catching up on bake off).
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 30, 2015 at 4:35 pmPerfect afternoon snack 😉
Emily says
September 30, 2015 at 3:02 pmYes they are beckoning to me! I love how you used coffee to add flavor! I would’ve never though of this 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 30, 2015 at 4:33 pmBut if it’s pumpkin spice latte….that’s kinda essential.
Emily says
September 30, 2015 at 4:43 pmHaha true!
Michele Morin says
September 30, 2015 at 8:03 amThe perfect pumpkin experience! Yummy! Time to bake!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

sue says
September 30, 2015 at 12:06 amThanks for another great recipe – I love pumpkin Rebecca!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 30, 2015 at 1:32 amThank you!
Jenn Alex Brockman says
September 29, 2015 at 9:46 pmThese look yummy. I’m not crazy over pumpkin but my 17 year old likes it. I’d have to see the carb count on that flour before I could use it. We do a low carb style of eating to help control type 2 diabetes.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 30, 2015 at 1:30 amI’m sure you would like them!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors says
September 29, 2015 at 5:53 pmI’ve got to get my hands on some of this grain free powder. I’ve heard amazing things about pumpkin seed powder and helping you sleep. These cookies are seriously so gorgeous though, they look like something I would pay lots and lots of money to eat!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2015 at 5:58 pmThis is actual pumpkin flour!
I think I could put Starbucks out of business 😉
Lucie says
September 29, 2015 at 5:12 pmPumpkin spice latte in cookie form? Count me in! Sounds like the perfect fall treat 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2015 at 5:25 pmThank you Lucie!!! xoxoxoxo
Nadia's Healthy Kitchen says
September 29, 2015 at 4:17 pmThose flavours sound amazing! I’ve never had a pumpkin latte and now I feel I’m really missing out! The cookies look so good Rebecca 😀
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2015 at 4:36 pmDon’t worry, you just need the cookies 😉
Liz @ The Clean Eating Couple Blog says
September 29, 2015 at 2:20 pmPumpkin flour?! How cool! These cookies look great 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2015 at 2:51 pmThank you!!
Evi @ greenevi says

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2015 at 12:39 pmHaha, thank you so much love!
Melissa @ vegan does it says
September 29, 2015 at 9:33 amPumpkin flour is now on my wish list! I’m always learning about alternative flours from you ???? These look awesome and I love pumpkin, of course. Not a fan of coffee though. Do you think I could leave the expresso powder out?
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2015 at 12:38 pmSure, just not as fun! Maybe some vanilla!
P says
September 29, 2015 at 8:21 amOh my YUM! Two of my favorite things in one! Gotta find that pumpkin flour…
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2015 at 8:30 amIt’s amazing!!
Angie Scheie says
September 29, 2015 at 3:16 amWow, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as pumpkin flour! I always knew that Starbuck’s pumpkin tasted super fake, but I didn’t know they changed it this year. Is it supposed to be ok now? Either way your recipe looks much better. Pinning!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2015 at 4:00 amThey say they’re actually using real pumpkin and not….chemicals? Haha!
Jessica | Nourished by Nutrition says
September 28, 2015 at 10:32 pmI’ve been wanting to try this flour for so long! This recipe is a perfect excuse to go ahead and buy some! Keep your creative and delicious recipes coming!!!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 10:48 pmI find that hard to believe since they just developed it 😛
But thanks!
Jessica | Nourished by Nutrition says
September 28, 2015 at 10:59 pmI by know means was trying to say something untrue…so I’ll clarify I guess. I follow this company on instgram and have wanted to try they’re apple, sweet potato and butternut squash flour for quite some time. So sorry that’s what I meant…not technically the pumpkin
Healing Tomato says
September 28, 2015 at 10:28 pmThese pumpkin spice latte cookies are so delicious and they are perfect for the holiday season. I like drinking pumpkin spice latte and now I have a cookie recipe for it. YUM!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 10:47 pmYup! Thank you dear!!
GiGi Eats says
September 28, 2015 at 10:22 pmHOLY YUM SAUCE!!! 😉 Girl, you always come up with some amazingly scrumptious sounding recipes!! 😀
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 10:47 pmThank you!
Lilly says
September 28, 2015 at 9:39 pmPumpkin FLOUR!? Jealous is not the word!! I love my pumpkin lattes, but cookie form would win any day. Enjoy!!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 10:45 pmHahaha! They do make your day pretty spectacular!
The Vegan 8 says
September 28, 2015 at 8:56 pmI have never in my life heard of pumpkin flour, need some of that now! Looks so good!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 10:43 pmIt is so fun! Haha! Flour can be fun 😉
Farrah says
September 28, 2015 at 8:38 pmThis is the epitome of fall in cookie form! <3!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 10:42 pmI think I’d have to agree 😉
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says
September 28, 2015 at 1:11 pmYou are crazy with those cool flours Rebecca! Those cookies look great, too – I may have to try them with coconut sugar & maple 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 1:16 pmI’d go for maple!
Linda @ Veganosity says
September 28, 2015 at 12:39 pmOoooo, I love the espresso element in this cookie. Very clever! They do look soft and pillowy, I could eat many of these. 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 1:15 pmWell isn’t the coffee essential to a PSL? Hahaha!
Megan @ Skinny Fitlaicious says
September 28, 2015 at 11:10 amPumpkin flour??? Come to mama!!! I need this in my kitchen.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 11:37 amYes!!!!! It is too much fun to be without! Life changing 😉
Sarah says
September 28, 2015 at 10:45 amSeriously I have never tried pumpkin flour, I need to get some! These cookies look delicious and I have to whip some up to enjoy with my homemade PSL. I like PSL but more of a fan of making it at home and treats inspired by it but not a big fan of the coffee shop versions. Oh and love me some chewy cookies! Crispy I can only do for graham crackers or like gingersnaps, they are just too dry. Unless I’m in a dunking mood than I guess I need a crispy cookie so it doesn’t crumble into the milk. 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 11:01 amTotally! Always homemade and always in unconventional ways!
Yes! Graham cracker things are the only things that should be crunchy!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
September 28, 2015 at 10:16 amOh my gosh Rebecca, these look DIVINE!! I need to get my hands on some of this pumpkin flour because it sounds amazing and I can already think of about 596293 recipes I’d like to try it in. You totally had me at the word ‘soft’ on this recipe – nice soft centres is totally where it’s at! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 10:59 amI know!!! I have so many things I want to make! I have to make sure not to spill one dot of this flour!
Always! I really don’t get satisfaction from crunchy cookies XP
Annmarie says

September 28, 2015 at 9:00 am“Pumpkin flour”??? Oh wow – I need to get my hands on some of that! These cookies look so good Rebecca – I usually love soft, cakey cookies – but I’ll take these chewy ones today!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 10:58 amThese are soft and cakey! Not really chewy. I don’t know how to describe baked goods effectively 😉 My lack of skill!

September 28, 2015 at 8:48 amThe S and L part was definitely unexpected! You are one smart cookie (pun absolutely intended because I love puns)! I just want these soft pillowly pumpkin rounds in my mouth right NOW! Those sideshots that show just how thick and chewy they are are so enticing <3 Might have to try it with pumpkin puree and squash or sweet potato flour since I already have those 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 8:52 amI just had one warmed in the micro this morning and o…..so good!!!!! I think I’ll have to send you a secret baggie of pumpkin flour, specifically for this cookies 😉 This is just too much fruity feasting to handle by myself 😉 xoxo

September 28, 2015 at 8:38 amI learn something new every day. Today it’s pumpkin flour. Who knew. I will be on the lookout because it has to add incredible flavor to anything pumpkin made. Cookies look wonderful. They’d go fast in my house.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

Kacey @ The Cookie Writer says
September 28, 2015 at 8:07 amI have never seen or used pumpkin flour before, but I am intrigued! If I cannot find it, I will try using some homemade lentil flour instead since I just roasted my pumpkin last night to make puree 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 28, 2015 at 8:10 amYou can’t buy it in stores, just online, but it’s worth it!

September 28, 2015 at 8:01 amI love baking cookies….who doesn’t love to nibble on a yummy cookie?! I’m not really a fan of pumpkin flavored stuff, but SO many of my friends are, so next fall gathering, this is going on my list of treats to bake (a few of my friends have food sensitivities, so that makes this even more perfect :)). Thanks for sharing this!
