Yum, I love pumpkin and chocolate chips. I used to make them often for my daycare kids. I saw a recipe today for pumpkin chocolate chip cheesecake I want to try next.

Thanks for posting the gluten-free cookie version!

Can you post the cheesecake recipe?? DS loves to eat and make cheesecake. I'm sure he'd love a new one to try.

Thanks for this great recipe! I made the cookies yesterday and my husband and I couldn't stay out of them!!! The apartment smelled so good afterward. I haven't frozen any yet but I feel like they would do fine. One thing, and it's not a bad thing, just an interesting thing I wasn't expecting ;) : We ate them straight out of the oven (Mmmmmm...); after a couple of hours went by, these actually were more like muffin tops. So I have been toasting them in my toaster oven before eating to get that tiny bit of crispiness back on the outside. I had always wondered how to make muffin tops, so I'll be playing around more with that!

5 stars! My glutenous husband loved them and so did a gluten-eating friend, who asked for the recipe. It made about 40 for me.

Thank you!! :D

Ok, so every time I go in the grocery store my mouth waters because the bakery has had these yummy looking, big puffy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies on display. So I tried some gluten free ones...OH BOY! They are just like the 'real' thing, I think maybe the pumpkin just adds the right amount of moisture or something but they're one of the best gluten-free cookies I've made. Here's the recipe, I have photos on my blog (click on my profile, I think the address is in there) if you want to see how they turned out. In fact, I have one more cup of pumpkin in the fridge (I baked a pie pumpkin and pureed it) so I'm about to go and make another batch...the kids ate them so fast!

The only thing I'd want to add about this recipe is to make sure your oven rack is in the middle...and watch them, maybe check after 10 minutes to see if they're done inside. The bottoms of one of the pans of cookies got too brown, I think they were too low in the oven but I had to play with the baking time and it may be different for your oven.

I made these last night and I'm not sure if I did something wrong.

They taste great, but they got really huge and puffy, never really crisped or browned to much and I had to bake them for about 30 mins. instead of 12!

We use our baking sheets for to many things so I don't like to put things directly on them. Could it have to do with the fact that I baked them on parchment paper instead of directly on the baking pan?

Jillian,

Mine were more the texture of little cakes than a crisp cookie. The upside of this was that they stayed fresh for several days without drying out.

When you baked them for 30 minutes, did you like how they came out? I was wondering if baking a bit longer would have crisped them up just a little, but with gluten-free baked goods, I'm forever wary of overbaking! :D

I don't think not using the parchment would have made a difference.

Mine were like a little cake too. I had to bake mine for about 15-16 min I think, but that's just a little longer than what the recipe said. Even that, after they cooled they seemed to get just a tad dry, not enough to make them not taste good, but I wondered if I over baked them.

Either way, they were yum!!

Mine also came out cake like. I kept looking at the print out to make sure I had the oven temperature right because if I had only left them in for the 12 mins., they were barely cooked. They are still very moist with having baked them for 30 mins. and like I said they do taste great, but I just wasn't sure if I did something wrong. My only complaint is the outside has this kinda rubbery look to it. As good as they are I would never make them to bring someplace or serve to guests because they just look really weird.

Made them last night, and they are great! I ate a few, stuck some in a bag in the freezer, and brought the rest to work. Everybody loves them. A few know that I am gluten-free, but others just ate them and remarked how good they were.

Thanks for the recipe!

Hi everyone!

I finally got to make these last night and they turned out really good :D

To be honest though I thought they were too strong last night (while still hot) but today I tried one again and they are even better then last night. I gave some to my In Laws (who can eat gluten) and my FIL REALLY liked them. So I am thinking of making these for Christmas when the family gathers with some other stuff that "I" can eat too (I am the only one out of everyone that can't eat gluten). I am always nervous sharing my gluten free foods that I make with people who can eat gluten... don't know why ha. I think its that gluten free things taste normal to me where to others they taste different or strange.

Thanks for posting this recipe it is definately a keeper :)

I just made these and OMG are they good! I used the original recipe but substituted a combo potato and corn starch since I didn't have any tapioca starch. I cooked them for about 20 minutes. They were cake-like, but not dry at all. I also added extra chocolate chips.

      But if you have been off of wheat for a period of weeks/months leading up to the testing it will likely turn out to be negative for celiac disease, even if you actually have celiac disease. Given your symptoms when consuming gluten, we certainly understand your reluctance to undergo the "gluten challenge" before testing but you need to understand that the...

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      Wow! Fascinating info. Thanks so much! I really appreciate the guidance. @Spacepanther Over the years I have had rheumatologists do full lab work ups on me. They told me they had screened me for arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease (all negative). In addition to joint pain and stiffness I had swelling in both knees that later moved to my elbow as well. I also...

      But if you have been off of wheat for a period of weeks/months leading up to the testing it will likely turn out to be negative for celiac disease, even if you actually have celiac disease. Given your symptoms when consuming gluten, we certainly understand your reluctance to undergo  the "gluten challenge" before testing but you need to understand that the testing may be a waste of time if you don't. What are you going to do if it is negative for celiac disease? Are you going to go back to merrily eating wheat/barley/rye products while living in pain and destroying your health? You will be in a conundrum. Do I or do I not? And you will likely have a difficult time being consistent with your diet. Celiac disease causes inflammation to the small bowel villous lining when gluten containing grains are consumed. This inflammation produces certain antibodies that can be detected in the blood after they reach a certain level, which takes weeks or months after the onset of the disease. If gluten is stopped or drastically reduced, the inflammation begins to decrease and so do the antibodies. Before long, their low levels are not detectable by testing and the antibody blood tests done for diagnosing celiac disease will be negative. Over time, this inflammation wears down the billions of microscopic, finger-like projections that make up the lining and form the nutrient absorbing layer of the small bowel where all the nutrition in our food is absorbed. As the villi bet worn down, vitamin and mineral deficiencies typically develop because absorption is compromised. An endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to microscopically examine this damage is usually the second stage of celiac disease diagnosis. However, when people cut out gluten or cut back on it significantly ahead of time before the biopsy is done, the villous lining has already experienced some healing and the microscopic examination may be negative or inconclusive. I'm not trying to tell you what to do I just want you to understand what the consequences of going gluten free ahead of testing are as far as test results go so that you will either not waste your time in having the tests done or will be prepared for negative test results and the impact that will have on your dietary decisions. And, who are these "consultants" you keep talking about and what are their qualifications? You are in the unenviable position that many who joint this forum have found themselves in. Namely, having begun a gluten free diet before getting a proper diagnosis but unwilling to enter into the gluten challenge for valid testing because of the severity of the symptoms it would cause them.

      I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing with your health. Dealing with celiac disease and multiple food sensitivities can indeed be overwhelming. Here are a few thoughts and suggestions based on your experience and the replies you've received: Confirming Diagnosis: It's great that your gastroenterologist confirmed your celiac disease diagnosis through additional tests. Understanding the specifics of your condition can help tailor your approach to managing it more effectively. Food Sensitivity Testing: While blood tests for food sensitivities can provide some insights, they may not always be completely accurate. As mentioned by others, false positives are common, and individual responses to specific foods can vary. Discussing your test results and symptoms with a healthcare professional knowledgeable about celiac disease and food sensitivities can help clarify your situation. Research and Education: Exploring conditions like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance could shed further light on your symptoms and provide additional avenues for managing your health. Gathering information from reliable sources and discussing your findings with your healthcare team can help you make informed decisions about your care. Dietary Management: Managing celiac disease and multiple food sensitivities can be challenging, but finding a balance that works for you is crucial. Working with a dietitian who specializes in celiac disease and food intolerances can help you develop a personalized dietary plan that meets your nutritional needs while minimizing symptoms. Stress Management: Chronic pain and health issues can take a toll on mental and emotional well-being. Finding healthy coping strategies to manage stress, such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques, or engaging in activities you enjoy, may help improve your overall quality of life. Remember, you're not alone in your journey, and seeking support from healthcare professionals, support groups, or online communities can provide valuable encouragement and guidance.

      Thank you very much for your reply. I hadn't heard of celiac disease but began to notice a pattern of pain. I've been on the floor more than once with agonising pain but this was always put down to another abdominal problem consequently I've been on a roundabout of backwards and forwards with another consultant for many years. I originally questioned this diagnosis but was assured it was the reason for my pain. Many years later the consultant gave up and I had a new GP. I started to cut out certain food types ,reading packets then really started to cut out wheat and went lactose free. After a month I reintroduced these in one meal and ended screaming in agony the tearing and bloating pain. With this info and a swollen lymph node in my neck I went back to the GP.  I have a referral now . I have also found out that acidic food is causing the terrible pain . My thoughts are this is irritating any ulcers. I'm hoping that after a decade the outlook isn't all bad. My blood test came back with a high marker but I didn't catch what it was. My GP and I have agreed that I won't go back on wheat just for the test due to the pain , my swollen lymph node and blood test results.  Trying to remain calm for the referral and perhaps needed to be more forceful all those years ago but I'm not assertive and consultants can be overwhelming. Many thanks for your reply . Wishing you all the best.

They told me they had screened me for arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease (all negative). In addition to joint pain and stiffness I had swelling in both knees that later moved to my elbow as well.  I also experience stiffness and pain in my neck and shoulders when it flares. I vomited fairly often growing up, but there wasn’t a real pattern to it and I didn’t know it wasn’t normal (thought people caught stomach viruses often).  I don’t usually have stomach symptoms immediately after eating gluten that I notice.  The only other joint condition I know of is fibromyalgia. Good luck! Hope you can get it figured out. I only assumed my joint symptoms were due to the celiac’s because it is under control for the most part on a gluten-free diet.  The rheumatologist also mentioned that some inflammatory/autoimmune diseases can be slow-moving and not detectable until they progress.
