Ingredients
- 180g Unsalted butter, softened at room temperature (Optional: organic)
- 100g Dark brown sugar
- 100g Granulated sugar
- 1 Can pumpkin purée
- 1 Large egg, beaten (Optional: free range)
- 2 tsps Pure vanilla extract
- 250g Plain flour (Optional: plain gluten free flour)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ¾ tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp Allspice
- ½ tsp Grated nutmeg
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- 100g Dark or milk chocolate chips
- To bake: greaseproof paper, baking tray (Optional: cookie scoop)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 175ºC/350ºF (Fan).
- Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. This will prevent your gluten free chocolate chip pumpkin cookies from sticking to the tray later!
- In a large bowl, mix the softened butter, dark brown sugar and granulated sugar together. Stir well, making sure all the ingredients have mixed together into a nice brown, buttery mix.
- Add the pumpkin purée, vanilla extract and egg to the mix. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat well until smooth, making sure there are no lumps.
- Fold in the flour, and add the baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt and all the spices to the mix. Once again, stir well until you’re left with a nicely smooth dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and let the dough rest in the fridge for 15-30 min. This will ensure the cookies brown better and bake more evenly.
- Take the dough out of the fridge. Use an ice-cream scoop to get even-sized pumpkin cookies and place them on the baking tray. Alternatively, you can use 1 ½ tablespoons for each cookie.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 12-15 min, or until they’ve lost their glossy sheen and the edges begin to turn golden brown. Remember, the cookies will look under-baked so don’t be tempted to bake them for longer. They will firm up as they cool.
- When ready, take your pumpkin chocolate chip cookies out of the oven and leave to cool on the tray for 10-15 min. You can then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy!
