Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour (preferably a 1-to-1 baking blend)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if vegan)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk gluten-free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Cream wet ingredients: In another bowl, use an electric mixer to combine butter (or coconut oil), pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. If dough is sticky, chill for 10-15 minutes.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop and bake: Drop dough onto the baking sheet, flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend: This mimics the texture of traditional flour for the best results.
- Chill the dough: Refrigerating helps shape cookies if dough is too sticky.
- Vegan option: Use coconut oil and flax eggs to make these cookies vegan-friendly.
- Store properly: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
