The best gluten-free pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and packed with that sweet pumpkin flavor we all crave for the fall.
I’m kind of obsessed with Lizzo rn (who isn’t tho?) and I about died when I saw the twitter exchange with @MeCookieMonster and Lizzo. “Me just took a DNA test turns out me 100% cookies” LOL and then Lizzo came back with “EVEN WHEN ME CRUMBLE CRAZY ME GOT SHORTBREAD PROBLEMS THATS THE MONSTER IN ME NOM NOM THEN ME EAT EM THATS THE COOKIE IN ME”. As if I needed to love her anymore. Anyways as I write this blog post that’s the jingle in my head rn. Bc basically after testing this recipe my DNA test would also be 100% cookies.
It’s officially fall, ladies and gents (even if it’s 80 degrees here on the East coast). So bust out your pumpkin and your flannel because it’s time to get COZY. And in true fall fashion, I had to kick things off with a pumpkin recipe! These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are HEAVENLY. They’re crispy on the outside and ultra chewy on the inside. They also happen to be gluten-free if that’s your fancy but if not you can totally sub the GF flour for all-purpose!
I’ve been loving these as something sweet to have at night after dinner or even after lunch if I feel that hankering for something sweet. This recipe has been hitting the spot so you best believe it’s going to be on repeat this fall.
And someone’s birthday is next week (hi, it me), so if you are looking for a way to show her your love, please make her these cookies ;). Enjoy friends and happy fall!

Hi this looks like fantastic recipe- and the comments have been great. I am new to baking and this my seem like a very dumb question but…1:1 gluten free flour – is that use as I would all purpose flour or is it all purpose and gluten free.
Have you tried this recipe with any other type of flour? Rice for example?

Hi Louise! No such thing as a dumb question over here! It’s gluten-free but you can use it in place of all-purpose flour. Here’s what I used: https://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free-1-to-1-baking-flour.html
Soooooo…..I have no idea what to put the oven at. That info would be nice
The recipe says to preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle are my favorite types of cookies! These look and sound fantastic
Thank you! They’re so fluffy too. 🙂
These are perfect for this time of year (or really any time!). I love the suggestion to top with sea salt!
The sea salt really brings out the sweeter flavors in the cookies!
As IF these are gluten free! They look so fluffy.
That’s the best part!
I’m putting pumpkin in EVERYTHING right now 🙂 Beautiful shot of these cookies –
