Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! These classic cookies are perfectly moist and pillowy soft. (Dairy-Free)
Fall just isn’t fall without pumpkin and chocolate chips. The pumpkin and chocolate chip combination has graced the pages of this blog many times (my favorite is here!).
A few years ago I made these paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They are delicious!
This new version is not paleo, but also delicious! They taste just like the classic pumpkin chocolate chip cookies I grew up eating.
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip CookiesThis is the kind of recipe you can fearlessly make for a big group, party, or gathering of friends and nobody will even notice the cookies are gluten-free.
I love healthier versions of my favorites, but sometimes I just want something that tastes like the classic. These cookies are the real deal!
For these cookies you can either use my gluten-free flour blend or a store-bought gluten-free all-purpose blend. Lately I’ve been loving King Arthur Flour 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Flour! These cookies are super easy to make. They will also make your kitchen smell like a fall dream.
My 4-year-old and I made these cookies last week and brought some to our neighbors and family members, all with rave reviews!
Tips for Gluten-Free Cookies
For the ideal texture – be sure to bake these cookies for the full time until they are set.
Be sure the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend you use contains xanthan gum or another binder.
If you don’t have coconut oil you can use vegetable oil or any other liquid oil.
Like most gluten-free cookies, these are best eaten the day they are made, although leftovers can be stored in an airtight container. Enjoy!
