My husband requested that I make my pumpkin chocolate chip cookies last week, because who says you can only have pumpkin flavored stuff in the fall? NOT ME! I will take pumpkin anything year round, thank you very much.

(PS-You Will want to double this recipe).

But, wait! There’s more.

You can totally make these into a gluten free version as well. I picked up Namaste Gluten free flour at Costco, and tried the exact recipe and they turned out awesome. If you don’t have a Costco membership, you can actually get it on Amazon, too!

I wanted to do something a little bit different though, so I turned mine into cookie bars by using a brownie pan like this one. The thing I loved about using the brownie pan was that it crisped the edges a little to make it taste more like a piece of pumpkin bread instead of a cookie. They turned out SO good. My kids gobbled them up, and couldn’t even tell I used gluten free flour.

I just spread a very thin layer (just enough to cover the bottom of pan) of dough on the bottom of the greased brownie pan, and cooked for about 20 minutes instead of 13. I’m going to try using this same recipe on a cookie sheet next time and see how they turn out!

What do you think? Are you going to try them?

    I don't believe you when you say hubby wanted you to make them for him. I know you just made them for yourself and there is nothing wrong with that! LOL!!!

    Despite my numerous attempts at pumpkin-flavoured baked goods, neither my kids or husband like them. BUT might have to give it one more try with this recipe. If they don't like them, guess I'll just be forced to eat them!

      Well, that wouldn't be all that bad, would it? Let me know if they are a hit or if you get to eat them all! :)
