  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until slightly fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the pumpkin, egg and vanilla and beat until well mixed. Add the flour mixture 1 cup at a time and beat until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  1. these look wonderful!!! I know it’s December now, but I’m not ready to leave pumpkin- especially when its 60degrees outside!

    1. Hi Ada! I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure it’s possible. I would recommend using your favorite all-purpose gluten free flour or another alternate flour such as gluten free oat flour or coconut flour. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

    2. They look delicious! Does the dough freeze well? If so, how much longer to bake the cookies when straight out the freezer?

      1. Hi Zsaquez! You can definitely freeze the dough. First freeze the cookie dough in scoop or ball form in a single layer on a baking sheet for at least 30 minutes before transferring to a freezer-safe bag to store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove them from the freezer and place a few inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
