Can I freeze these cookies?

Yes! These gluten free pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies freeze really well. Be sure to use a freezer safe container or bag to put the cookies in. They will last for up to a month in the freezer. You can also freeze individual cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and then transfer them to a freezer safe bag or container. When you want to use them let the cookie balls defrost and then bake them per the instructions on this recipe.

How can I tell when gluten free cookies are done?

Your cookies should be a nice golden brown color. You may also notice that they are slightly darker brown on the bottom edges.

Do gluten free cookies take longer to bake?

Yes, gluten free cookies do tend to take longer to bake than cookies made with a wheat flour. The outside of the cookie will be browned, but they may not be cooked through in the center. If you are having this issue you can lower the oven temperature and bake the cookies a bit longer. I also only bake one baking sheet at a time of gluten free cookies. They need to be evenly heated to cook correctly.

Can I use pumpkin pie spice instead of the individual spices?

Yes. If you prefer, swap the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove for about 2 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice. Using the spices individually just gives you more control over the exact flavor balance.

Why is there only a small amount of pumpkin puree in this recipe?

This recipe uses less pumpkin puree than many pumpkin cookie recipes on purpose. Too much pumpkin can make cookies turn out soft and cakey instead of chewy, so a smaller amount keeps the texture closer to a classic chocolate chip cookie while still adding fall flavor.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a mixing bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer add the unsalted butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat until well blended together. Add the eggs, pumpkin puree and vanilla. Beat until well blended together.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until they are just combined.

Add the chocolate chips and mix them into the cookie dough.

Using a cookie scoop to measure the dough add 12 cookies to your regular sized baking sheet. Smash them down slightly with your hand. If the dough is sticking to your hand wet it with water.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Let cookies cool slightly and then move them to a cooling rack. Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an air tight container.
