Preheat the oven to 350 F and line an 8x8" baking pan with lightly greased parchment paper.
To make the cookie layer, combine the almond flour, arrowroot starch, and pumpkin pie spice. Add the coconut sugar, melted ghee (or coconut oil), egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until a cookie dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the greased baking pan and set aside.
Using a seperate bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the pumpkin layer and stir until well combined.
Pour the pumpkin layer over the cookie layer and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top of the pumpkin pie is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into 9 bars. Store in the fridge for 2-3 days and serve fresh or chilled.
Notes
Please ensure you leave enough time for these cookie bars to set! I recommend allowing them to chill for minimum 20-25 minutes before slicing.
