Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 and 1/2 Tbsp Ground Flax Seed mixed with 5 Tbsp water
1 and 1/2 Cup Vegetable or Canola Oil
1 and 1/2 Cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
1 and 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 and 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Cup Pumpkin
5 Cups Oat Flour
1 and 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
3/4 Tsp Salt
3/4 Tsp Ground Ginger
2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
1/4 Tsp Ground Cloves
1-2 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

*if you don’t have oat flour lying around, you can just throw some oats in the food processor or blender and pulse until the oats reach the consistency of flour you would like. Me and my husband prefer the flour to have a little bite to it.

Instructions

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

-After that, the first thing you’ll want to do is mix the flax seed with the water in a little bowl to the side and let it sit for at least five minutes.

-While that’s sitting, get a big bowl and mix the oil, sugars, vanilla, and pumpkin together either with your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or just with a rubber spatula mixing it yourself. Add ground flax seed and water mixture. Add oat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Mix well, then mix in the chocolate chips.

-The dough will be wet, so spoon drops of about 2 tablespoons of dough on to a greased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If the dough is so runny that it doesn’t stay in a general mound, add more oat flour a 1/4 cup at a time until it does.

-Bake 10-15 minutes or until the edges and peaks on top are golden brown.
