Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter (the real stuff)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup truvia brown sugar blend
6 Tbsp canned pumpkin  (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

First melt your butter. Whisk together melted butter, applesauce, truvia, pumpkin, & vanilla extract.

Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, & pumpkin pie spice into the same bowl. Stir wet & dry ingredients together.

Fold in the chocolate chips. Place bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Use either a baking sheet that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray or one that is covered in parchment paper. I tried it both ways & they both came out the same. Scoop cookie dough into shaped mounds using a small cookie scoop. Lightly press them down with your fingers because they won’t spread much when they bake.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
Let sit on cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Allow to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
