Ingredient Notes

  • Egg Replacer – The pumpkin in these takes the place of eggs, helping to bind these together and keeping them from drying out. So you don’t need to add a traditional egg replacer – the pumpkin works just fine!
  • Pumpkin – You want to use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. You don’t need the extra ingredients in pie filling for these cookies.
  • Dairy Free Chocolate Chips – Feel free to use mini chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks. Some brands to check out are Enjoy Life and PASCHA Chocolate.

Variations

If you don’t like chocolate with pumpkin, you can add pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, or just enjoy these without any additions. A soft and chewy pumpkin cookie is a delicious treat even without chocolate!

Substitutions

  • If you can’t have pumpkin, or don’t have any on hand, you can use butternut squash puree. You can make your own homemade pumpkin puree as well. Mashed sweet potato would be another good substitute.
  • If you aren’t gluten free, feel free to use all-purpose flour or spelt flour.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Put the gluten free flour blend, spices, salt, and baking soda in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  • Put the buttery spread and the sugars in a mixing bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and the pumpkin puree and mix until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients a little at a time while mixing on low speed. Stop the mixer and stir in the chocolate chips by hand.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for up to 5 days.
You can freeze this cookie dough – just drop tablespoons full on a cookie sheet and freeze for about an hour. Then place the dough drops in a freezer bag. You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months.

    Can I use almond flour in place of GF flour blend? If I only have almond flour what do you suggest I add or take away to not alter the texture of the cookies. Thanks.

      If you use all almond flour, the cookies will be a bit heavy and moist. If you want to use some almond flour, you can use up to half the amount, then use half a gluten free flour blend. All almond flour will definitely change the texture, and there isn’t really a way to modify it.

    Just finished making these, and they look amazing! Can I substitute oil for the spread next time?

      Oil in cookies is not usually a great idea, the texture will be changed. They may spread out too much and be brittle.

    Would it work to substitute Xylitol for the sugar in this recipe?

    A few weeks ago I decided to reorganize my spice and baking cabinet. While I was doing it, it made the kitchen look like a disaster! But once I was done everything looked better than ever. Definitely better to look at cookies though, haha! These look delish!

    Pumpkin cookies are my weakness! Also, I’ve been there with the declutter chaos – I always want to jump ship when the mess is at its peak. :)
