    These pumpkin cookies are easy, pumpkiny and spiced with fall spices. Use other spices if you like such as cardamom. These large cookies are also a great canvas for some halloween-y ideas. 

    Make the dough. Chill, shape into large cookies, press chocolate chips and chunks in. Bake and done. I am having a ton of trouble concentrating on writing this post today 🙂 too many things on my mind!

    Pumpkin cookies can easily end up too cakey. To keep them less so, chill the dough, press the dough to make thin cookies, and let the cookies sit for a while after baking. Preferably chill for a few hours. The cookies settle and get chewy. The spices used also get stronger with time.

      These look delish, Richa 🙂 . Just wondering – what gluten free flours would you replace with spelt and normal flour? I’m not so fond on almonds. Also, what nut or seed butter would you say works well, other than almond butter? Perhaps cashew butter? (I like a few almonds and even some almond milk, I just don’t like almond products that taste very strongly of marzipan). Thank you :)))

        mix 1/2 cup rice flour, 3/4 cup almond flour and 1/4 cup tapioca starch and use the same amount as the other flours to begin with and add more as needed

      Could I use only quinoa flour in this recipe? I’ll make two batches, one with the pie spice blend and the other with cardamom 🙂

        have you baked with quinoa flour before? it has a peculiar flavor. 🙂 you can use 1/2 cup quinoa flour, 1/4 cup almond flour and 2 to 3 Tbsp starch.

      What can I substitute for these:

      ½ cup spelt flour or wheat pastry flour
      ½ cup unbleached white flour (ap flour)

      Thanks

          Yes, it does have an odd taste used alone. Great solution! Thank you 🙂
