When you take pumpkin, pair it with chocolate chips, you have a winning cookie recipe. Then go one step further and add healthy coconut oil and black-strap molasses for a deep-robust flavor and texture. Oat and tapioca flours only add to the old-fashioned appeal of this muffin-like cookie treat. They are so good, you can enjoy them for dessert and then again for breakfast the next morning.
