Back to the gluten-free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies…

The recipe comes together in 10 minutes or less.

Just 4 easy steps:

1. cream the butters and sugar

2. add in the pumpkin and vanilla

3. whisk together and add in the dry ingredients

4. mix in the chips.

2 Pro Tips: 

First, the butter needs to be softened (room temp or even softer) so remember to take a stick out of the fridge ahead of time.

Second, Always to mix the flour and other dry ingredients (baking soda, salt and spices) in a separate bowl with a pastry cutter, whisk or fork. It combines them really well and helps with the cookie texture.

2 Options for cookie size:

Finally, it is a really fun recipe because the batter is a great texture, so you can make the cookies 2 different ways depending on mood and both are great!

You can drop it by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet which will yield smaller, chunkier cookies.

Or you can press the cookies down with your hands or the back of a spoon and have bigger flatter cookies. These are 3-4 inch cookies.

A perfect Fall Treat!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Gluten-Free, Egg-Free (and dairy-free optional) Cookies are a perfect Fall treat! Soft and chewy, bursting with chocolate chips, just the right amount of spice and so yummy! Plus the super easy recipes takes no more than 10 minutes to prep!
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time12 mins
Total Time22 mins
Course: Fall, Dessert, Cookies
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Optional, Nut-Free, Vegan optional, Egg-Free
Servings: 12 - 14 4 inch cookies
Author: Healthy Gluten-free Family

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup or 1 stick butter or dairy-free butter, softened (tip: the softer the better)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour we use GF Jules , affiliate link
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cup chocolate chips we used semi-sweet, you could also use dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and cane sugar until well combined, light and fluffy.
  • Add pumpkin and vanilla, and mix to combine. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. (I like to use a pastry cutter but a whisk or fork work fine too). Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and combine, starting with the mixer on low speed combine. Once combined, you can increase mixer speed to combine well, scraping down the sides as needed. Batter will be smooth.
  • Add chocolate chips and mix on low for just 10 seconds to combine.
  • Using a tablespoon measuring spoon, drop batter onto prepared baking sheets 2 tablespoons at a time. Flatten a little for chunkier cookies (these cookies will not spread much when baking). OR using your hand or the back of a spoon flatten cookies and form batter into large 3.5- 4 inch circles (again batter will not rise or flatten much).
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden and slightly browning on top.
  • Let cool and set for 10 minutes, then enjoy!

    To welcome fall, I made these tasty treats. They turned out perfect, soft and chewy! My whole family loved them and no idea they were gluten free!

    I made these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies yesterday and they’re so yummy! Added some sea salt on top and yummmmm ? thank you for the recipe!

  3. 5 stars
    These are amazing! I didn’t have ground cloves or nutmeg, but I did have pumpkin pie spice. I messaged Karen and she suggested substituting 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice for the cloves and nutmeg, and keeping the cinnamon measurement the same (1 tsp). The substitution worked so well! The cookies are soft and have such a great flavor. Even my husband loved them, and he’s super picky with desserts!

  4. Just made these for the first time…and yum! Wondering if it’s okay to freeze cookies for gobbling at a later date? Thanks!

  6. These are delicious and turned out amazing! And super easy to throw together. I love the softness of them and the flavor wasn’t too pumpkin-y. Thank you for another wonderful recipe!

    My family absolutely loved this recipe! This was the first recipe of yours I tried and I already have three recipes more lined up, ready to make!

  8. 5 stars
    These were amazing super easy and delicious. Thank god I found your page on Instagram you have made cooking and baking so easy for me since I’m now gluten free. If you have never tried these they are a must!!! Thanks for always sharing ?

  9. I’ve now made these twice! The first time I was browsing the website to find a quick treat to make for a small gathering we were having. This seemed simple enough and I had many of the ingredients already. Everyone raved about them, not even knowing they were gluten free. Then I made them again for a family that is gluten free, and has a child that is also dairy and egg free. And they raved about them! I think they would also be wonderful without chocolate chips as well. Big fan of this recipe and will continue to make them until I run out of pumpkin!

  10. These are the best pumpkin cookies I’ve ever made!! My son is allergic to eggs and said these are his favorite cookies he’s ever had. Thank you so much!!

    We loved these pumpkin cookies! Only change was used some ginger instead of cloves. Thanks so much for the recommendation of Jules gf flour, it made a world of difference!

  13. My family and I have been making these cookies for 3 years now, and I don’t think we can live without them anymore. They are heavenly, with the perfect combination of pumpkin flavor, warming spices, and chocolately goodness.
