I hope I didn't scare you off with the "whole grain" in the title. These pumpkin cookies are soft, tender, chock-full of spices, pumpkin and chocolate...and are delicious for all cookie monsters (even gluten-free)!
{The sight of this on my counter made me giddy.}
Whole-Grain Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
{makes 2 dozen}
2 cups oat flour
1 teaspoon potato flour (omitting this is fine, it just adds to the tenderness)
1 & 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
1 & 1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, potato flour, spices, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until combined and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla, then the pumpkin. Mix until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
On low speed, add in the out flour mixture in three additions until incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop and place the balls of dough 2" apart on the prepared sheets. Bake 13-15 minutes or until the middles are fully baked.
Let sit on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire cooking rack to cool completely.

Those look good!
ReplyDeleteWow they turned out beautifully! So chewy looking which can be tricky with pumpkin b/c I find it gets cakey. Must be the oat flour! I used to use it TONS and have fallen out of the habit. Need to get back in. Pinned!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for pumpkin everything!! These look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can never have enough pumpkin cookie recipes.. these look great!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh you are like a sign from the heavens--I was just agonizing over what I wanted to bring into work for my birthday that would be pumpkin-y and gluten free! Agonize no longer!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to get pumpkin cookies right, can't wait to try these they look perfect!
ReplyDeleteI need to experiment with more flours too...it's high time! Annnnnd these are lovely!
ReplyDeleteMmm! I love oat flour too, but never use it enough! These cookies are the perfect excuse! I guess it's pumpkin baking time!
ReplyDeleteLove chocolate and pumpkin together! These look great!

This is such a great idea, Bridget! I'm passing this recipe straight to my gluten-free friend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful recipe - what flour can use to substitute the oat flour? Will whole wheat work or just a regular white flour? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBridget, This cookie is perfect for Fall. I like your use of brown paper and string in your photos..unique idea!
ReplyDeleteYum! And a big yay! for your GF adaptation. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so creative--I will definitely try them. I love Bob's Red Mill products (especially their Almond Flour)--and I grind my own gluten-free oat flour by grinding gluten-free rolled oats (oatmeal) in the food processor until it is very fine. Thank you for your blog, great photos and terrific sense of humor!
ReplyDeletethey look really delicious

ReplyDeleteHooray for pumpkin!!!!!! Love these cookies!!
ReplyDeleteI just made them and they are DELICIOUS! It smells like yummy pumpkins in my kitchen now and they were the perfect end to the day. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteOat flour, eh? I'm always afraid to waste my money on odd and expensive flours. I might have to give this one a try. These cookies look great.
ReplyDeletethe good thing is, oat flour is fairly inexpensive. I'm hesitate to buy a bunch of pricey specialty flours as well. :) Oat Flour is pretty versatile, too.
Deletemust give these a try ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to start baking with pumpkin! Fall definitely has the BEST desserts out of all four seasons
ReplyDeleteJust made these and wow did they flop. Followed the recipe exactly....milled my own flour from steel cut oats and the cookies did not have any body at all. What did I do wrong?
ReplyDeleteI used packaged oat flour. I'm guessing that's the issue. :)
DeleteI know somebody that tried this cookies and she loves it!!! I have to try this recipe !!!
ReplyDeleteI have some family members with Celiac, so I wanted to try these out before recommending the recipe...they do not disappoint!!! I didn't have potato flour but they are still soft and yummy. I may have eaten 3 right out of the oven :) Thanks for posting this!!
ReplyDeleteWhat size can?? I got the small one.
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThe recipe calls for 1 cup, not 1 can. :) Hope that helps!
Thanks, reading a recipe with an 1 yo at my feet kills brain cells at times. My daughter can't wait to try them(my 5 yo)
ReplyDeleteExcellent pumpkin cookie recipe for the gluten-free crowd, Bridget! That oat flour...it's so awesome and performs well in baking. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I searched for a couple days to find something allergy friendly (I'm gluten- and dairy-free, and there are others with nut allergies) to bring to one of my classes. Finally I found this one and tried it and it was delicious! I just made this with vegan butter and with Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten-free flour. They are light and cakey and sweet and perfect! Thanks a lot for this recipe. I think everyone will really love it!
ReplyDeletethey LOVED them!
DeleteThese look so good. I don't like the pumpkin cookies that are more cake like. These look chewy...just like cookies should be.
