Chewy, sweet,sugar free and grain free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies that are crisp on the bottom!

Nom Nom...

How did I finish off my marathon of baking with squash? With Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies, of course!

I still had a little leftover roasted squash, even after making Pumpkin Apple Cake, Gingerbread Squash Muffins and Donuts, and putting it on my salads! It's been so much fun and I've loved everything I've made. Hubby's pretty happy too!

Guess what I discovered with these cookies? Even without adding sugar to the recipe, the squash made them beautifully sweet and actually crisped up the bottoms!  Amazing, delicious and healthy. Yay, for squash!
