These cookies are a delicious cozy autumn dessert. They are chewy, tender, and bursting with pumpkin and chocolate flavors. They also have a secret ingredient: amaranth flakes. Amaranth is a gluten-free superfood that's rich in protein, fiber, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. Amaranth flakes give these cookies a nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch.
