Ingredients
½ cup room temperature butter (dairy-free or regular)
½ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup pure pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ¼ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the butter and both sugars. Use an electric mixer to cream the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
- Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, and mix until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough, spacing them a few inches apart. If you prefer smaller cookies, feel free to scoop less dough.
- Bake for 13–18 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown and the centers are matte. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so be cautious not to over-bake if you prefer a soft and gooey center.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top while the cookies are still warm.
- If the cookies haven’t spread much, tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to encourage spreading.
- Allow the cookies to cool for at least 30 minutes before enjoying!
Notes
- For dairy-free cookies, replace the butter with coconut oil or plant-based butter.
- For vegan cookies, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water).
- To add extra texture, consider mixing in chopped walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for a bolder flavor.
- If your cookies spread too much, chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking.
