Ingredients
– 1 cup granulated sugar for sweetness and help with texture
– 1/2 cup brown sugar for sweetness and help with texture
– 15-ounce can of pumpkin to provide moisture and structure
– gluten-free all-purpose baking flour to provide moisture and structure
– chocolate chips to enhance flavor and excitement
– pumpkin pie spice (a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves) to enhance flavor and excitement
– 1/3 cup oil (vegetable or coconut oil recommended)
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark; use dairy-free chips for a dairy-free option)
Instructions
1-First: preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, blend the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin, and oil on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again until smooth.
2-Next: in a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and blend on low speed until fully combined. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand to keep them whole and distribute them evenly.
3-Then: use a cookie scoop to place 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them apart for even baking. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the cookies are set but not underbaked. Let them cool on the sheets before serving, and remember, they taste best fresh but can be stored for a few days.
