If you love pumpkin these Gluten Free Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are a must make! They are the best gluten free pumpkin cookies that I have made. They really are that good!
I recently got a text from a friend about some pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies with white chocolate chips that her daughter made. She said that they were one of the best pumpkin recipes that they have made.
She knows that I love to come up with gluten free versions of things. She told me that I had to figure out how to make them gluten free because she knew that we would love them.
She shared the recipe with me. It is actually a recipe from the fiction author Debbie MacComber. I compared it with several other recipes that I found online for pumpkin snickerdoodles and I got to work on a gluten free version.
What I ended up with was the best gluten free pumpkin cookie that I have had.
They were light and fluffy, yet soft and chewy. The white chocolate was the perfect pairing for the pumpkin in these. And the spices added a nice depth of flavor.
If you are looking for a gluten free pumpkin dessert for the holidays this is a great one. These pumpkin snickerdoodles would be easy to make ahead and freeze for an easy dessert during the holidays.
These cookies really are so good that no one will know that they are gluten free!

I made these today and they are very good! I looked and looked but could not find an oven temp for cooking. I cooked them in a 350 degree oven and they seemed to take a little longer to cook. Should the temp be 375 degrees? Thanks!
I am so glad that you enjoyed the pumpkin cookies! And I am so sorry that I forgot the oven temperature in the directions… You are right it is 375. I just fixed the recipe so that the temperature is included. Thank you for letting me know that it was missing.
