Ingredients
1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Stir in chocolate chips if desired.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free butter alternative.
You can customize these cookies by adding nuts, dried fruit, or other spices according to your taste.
If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
