Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies vegan glutenfree baking

I love pumpkin. In any form. My family, not so much. So I sneak it into our soups, pasta, salads, pancakes, cakes, and even crackers. 

What they don't see, they don't complain about!

And so that little piece of pumpkin in my refrigerator was quickly cooked and purรฉed. Before the fam realized it, it was added to the chocolate chip cookie dough, along with a dash of pumpkin pie spice, to make the best chocolate chip pumpkin cookies!

Pro Tips

  • Donโ€™t overmix the dough.
  • Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies recipe can be made ahead, and you can refrigerate the dough. Itโ€™s not necessary, but I had to chill it for 15โ€“20 minutes because it's still very hot here.
  • If you wish, scatter more chocolate chips on top and press them in lightly.
  • Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies look slightly underdone. Donโ€™t worry. They will harden a bit as they cool.
  • You can store the pumpkin cookies in an airtight container.

How To Make Pumpkin Puree

Since we don't get canned pumpkin purรฉe in India, I just make some at home. All you have to do is steam the peeled, diced vegetable. Once cooked, simply purรฉe it. It's a good idea to cook it down further for a few minutes to ensure there is no extra moisture.

Fresh Homemade Pumpkin Puree

You don't want a watery pumpkin purรฉe in your cookie dough. You can store the purรฉe in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4โ€“5 days and use it for (besides this fabulous pumpkin chocolate chip cookies recipe):

  • Muffins
  • Donuts
  • Mug cake
  • Cheesecake bars
  • Cinnamon rolls

Recipe Ingredients

Flour: Since I was in an experimental mode, in went buckwheat and quinoa flours to the pumpkin and chocolate chip cookie dough. With a small prayer on my lips, the cookies went into the oven, and they held up really well. Oh, the joys of my life! Donโ€™t want to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies gluten-free? Use all-purpose flour.

Oil: I substituted butter with coconut oil, but butter would work absolutely fine here.

Sugar: I think these vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies would be wonderful with coconut sugar or jaggery too. That is definitely what I plan to do with the next batch.

Eggless: I made the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies vegan because the pumpkin adds a lot of moisture, giving them a rich and creamy texture. Hence, eliminating the need for eggs.

Pumpkin spice: Itโ€™s a combination of the loveliest, healthiest spicesโ€”cinnamon, clove, ginger, and nutmeg powders. Donโ€™t skip it. Youโ€™ll find the exact recipe for pumpkin spice here.
