[...] Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies [...]
Celiac Disease Symptoms and the Best Gluten-Free Recipes on the Web | The Family Kitchen commented on Jan 20 11 at 3:00 pm[...] Cookies are a weak spot for me, which can be a challenge especially when trying to find a good gluten free, dairy free cookie recipe. Although spring is on the brink, my head is still in the cold considering that there’s about 2 feet of snow still on my front lawn. Pumpkin cookies are a great fall and winter treasure. Bob’s Red Mill (see bellow) has a great recipe for Pumpkin cookies, along with Babbles Allergen Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. [...]

Chris Strachan commented on Aug 25 11 at 9:09 pmThese Allergen Free Pumpkin Chip Cookies are wonderful! I made them for my daughter and her friend when they came to visit for the weekend. He has many food allergies and my daughter can have no dairy. These cookies tasted like “the real thing”. They both gave them the thumbs up and even my husband thought they were great. I had to made two batches for the weekend! Bravo!!
Brittany commented on Nov 09 11 at 4:03 pmThese look amazing! Question… would i be able to use an all purpose gluten free flour in the place of the oat flour? if so, would it be the same amout and would anything else change?
Rae commented on Feb 29 12 at 7:35 pmI, too, would like to know if I can use all purpose gluten free flour in place of the oat flour? Would it be the same amount and would anything else change? Thank you. I’m a grandma trying to bake for my grandson who has many restrictions.
