Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Cookies Recipe

We have been so obsessed with these Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cookies over here! The texture is just right, not dry and crumbly like so many gluten-free desserts tend to be. I make a dairy-free version for my toddler, and the kids just LOVE these! Here’s what’s great about them:

  • The MOST fall flavors!
  • The pumpkin and pumpkin spice isn’t overpowering, but just enough!
  • Made with an easy, gluten-free all-purpose flour.
  • They can also be made dairy-free with a few simple swaps.
  • Make this entire batch of cookies in just one bowl!

When Are The Cookies Done?

Pumpkin cookies are done when the edges are slightly golden and the center is mostly set. It’s also important to remember that they will continue to firm up as they cool! The baking time is typically 13-18 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

How to Store

Let these Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cookies fully cool at room temperature before storing in an airtight container. (opens in a new tab) Keep at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or store in the fridge for up to 1 week. These cookies can also be kept in the freezer for up to 2-3 months!

    Can you make the dough ahead of time and store in the fridge?

    1. Christine

      Yes! Just make sure it’s wrapped really well before refrigerating.

  2. Gina Marquez

    Thanks!

    I went to fold in the chocolate chips and realized I only had white chocolate chips in my cupboard…decided to roll with it & oh man, these are incredible!! I haven’t had a non-soggy pumpkin cookie since going gluten free. These truly hit the spot. I’m going to have to hide these from myself. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

    1. Jar Of Lemons

      Thanks, Ty. I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe!

  4. Morgan

    Tastes great but any tips on how to get them flatter and less poofy? I tried to flatten with my hand but still didn’t get the desired flatness/crispiness. Thanks!

  5. Jill

    I’m all in for anything pumpkin and then you added chocolate! Yum!!
