Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Pumpkin meets chocolate in this delicious seasonal cookie recipe and it's a match made in heaven! One thing I really love about this recipe is how easy it is! Also, simple enough to get the kids in the kitchen baking with you! You can have a batch whipped up, baked and ready to eat within 30 minutes.
Baking with pumpkin adds a lot of moisture to recipes, so the results you'll get are an extra soft, almost cake-like cookie.
Ingredients You'll Need to Make These Pumpkin Cookies
Here's what you'll need:
- Pumpkin Puree. *not canned pumpkin pie filling! If using homemade, be sure to strain any extra liquid.
- Oil
- Egg
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Sugar. I used a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar.
- Flour. Use your favorite gluten-free all purpose flour. I used King Arthur Measure for Measure.
- Baking Soda & Baking Powder
- Spices. Salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves-oh my! Or pumpkin pie spice works too!
- Chocolate Chips. Use dairy-free here if needed.
How to Make this Yummy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
- Mix together the wet ingredients in a stand mixer. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
- Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture.
- Blend until everything is well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough onto baking sheets leaving a good amount of space between each. Use a cookie scoop to help make more uniform cookies. If you prefer flatter cookies, press the dough down slightly before baking.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are set and golden.
