Description

Soft and chewy cookies that combine the rich flavors of pumpkin and chocolate, perfect for autumn days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (preferably homemade or canned without additives)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  • Integrate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Activate Baking Soda: In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the milk. Add this to the cookie dough along with the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
  • Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure the pumpkin puree is well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
