This is the only Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe you’ll need! These cookies are soft, chewy, AND have the perfect amount of pumpkin to get you ready for fall.
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
The weather has turned and it actually feels like fall here in Cleveland – and it looks like it is finally here to stay. Don’t get me wrong, I love summer, but the cooler temperatures bring thoughts of hayrides, hot cocoa, football, and pumpkin EVERYTHING.
These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies are great to bring as a fall treat when considering possible dietary restrictions (careful with coconut allergy – this recipe uses coconut oil, but may be substituted with vegan butter). The best part about these cookies is that they taste so good that no one would even know that they’re gluten-free and dairy-free!
