This Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cookie recipe is a deliciously delightful way to welcome fall🍂 These pumpkin cookies are healthier than most other recipes out there with less sugar, no cream cheese, no icing and MORE canned pumpkin. These pumpkin cookies are moist and soft - each bite is packed with fresh pumpkin and a hint of sweetness from the dark chocolate chips.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup canned pure pumpkin
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Add room temperature butter, sugar, and eggs to a large mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth. It takes about 60 seconds.
  • Add vanilla and pumpkin purée. Stir together. If it has little "flecks" of butter in it, that's totally fine. Put that to the side.
  • In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Stir once or twice with a spoon until all mixed together.
  • Take your butter, egg, sugar mixture and pour it into the bowl with the flour. Stir together. It'll start to become like a dough.
  • Finally, add the chocolate chips and stir them in.
  • Place small scoops of the pumpkin cookie dough onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. No need to press down but shape them if you care how round they are. They will spread slightly once baked.
  • You'll get about 18-20 small cookies.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for ~12 minutes. Let them cool (if you can.) Sometimes I'lll eat them right out of the oven = HOT and YUM.

Notes

Nutrition information is approximate.
Tips: Use room temperature butter. This will help make sure the cookie dough is as uniform as possible, especially after mixing it.
Also, don’t over-bake these pumpkin cookies. These cookies are moist and soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious but if you over-bake them, they won’t be so keep an eye on that baking time!
