    Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Chip gluten-free cookies

    Technically fall is upon us. Trees are putting on a dazzling show of brilliant color changes. Apple trees are burgeoning with fruit (causing me to apply significant self-restraint not to do some urban foraging in public spaces). October lays in wait next week. It’s time to release the pumpkin recipes! I’ll admit I did stick a toe in the autumnal recipe lake this week with Iced Pumpkin Lattes, which seemed a perfect starter for fall but at our current mid 80’s temps. It’s funny, growing up I really didn’t care for pumpkin. I think it was reserved almost exclusively for pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving which was never my favorite. However when I look through my recipes now on Boulder Locavore, I have amassed an entire collection of savory, sweet and even a drink (Pumpkin Mexican Hot Chocolate) signaling times have changed…..deliciously I might add! Stack of Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Chip gluten-free cookies I have been thinking about making these Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Chip cookies since the summer. My food blogger mind does race ahead to future seasons, thinking up flavor combinations for new recipes when prompted by anything from spotting an intriguing color, ingredient or a change in the light. Last fall I purchased several bags of seasonal baking chips which tend to only be sold in the fall and around the holidays. I’ve had them stashed in my freezer awaiting some fun baking. Cinnamon Baking Chips These cookies taste like fall. Moist, cakey cookies with just the right amount of spice and pumpkin. Not too sweet but sweet enough that I recommend finding a hiding place so they don’t disappear in the blink of an eye like they did at my house! I personally love using Oat Flour. It has a wonderful flavor and rustic feel that works perfectly in fall baking. As far as gluten-free flours go, it is a flour I’ve found that can be used solo (most gluten-free flours lack the binding capability traditionally provided by gluten, which is why they need to be combined to have good structure). It added the perfect flavor touch to these cookies. The oat flour I purchase is marked gluten-free and though I do not know of any oat flour which has gluten, a reader from Australia let me know their regular oat flour is not considered gluten-free so be sure to check for properly marked flour if you require gluten-free oat flour.

    This is a perfect cool season cookie recipe! The right touch of spice, pumpkin, sweetness and texture thanks to gluten-free oat flour. The cinnamon chips perfect them! Pecan bits may be added too.

      What is the temp for the oven? Have I missed it somewhere?

        Shawn, my apologies and thanks! The first four steps of the recipe disappeared. Can’t explain it but I’ve added them back to everything you need is there. Oven temp is 350. Thanks again for flagging this.

          I’m so glad you asked. If you would have started where the instructions did you’d have a lot of dry ingredients, no eggs, butter, sugar or heat!

      Just to let you know – oats can be cross contaminated with gluten which is why there are certified gluten free oats. Oats don’t have gluten but can pick some up somehow if they are planted near gluten crops.

        Yes Sarah I am aware of that and due to that in our gluten-free household we only eat gluten-free certified oat products. I have only seen gluten-free oat flour in stores however after hearing from my reader in Australia I thought to note buying ‘gluten-free oat flour’ for those who are gluten intolerant in case there indeed is oat flour available which is not gluten-free. Thank you!
