What Makes These Fall Cookie REcipes SpeciaL

Let’s be honest: cookies are great anytime. But there’s something so fun and special about fall baking, and that’s definitely true of these fall cookie recipes!

  • Seasonal Flavors. Pumpkin, yes, but also flavors that channel warmth and coziness. Think flavors like caramel-y brown butter, warm cinnamon, buttery toffee, and rich notes of chocolate.
  • Cozy Textures. Whether it’s a fudgy chocolate cookie, or a chewy pumpkin one, we’re going for textures that feel a little cozier and heartier for fall.
  • They’re All Gluten-Free! Every single ones of these fall cookies is 100% gluten-free, so they’re great for sharing with Celiac friends and gluten-free loved ones.

Happy baking! xo, Emily

Tips For Better Gluten-Free Cookies

  • Metric Really Is Best. If I could give you one tip for better gluten-free cookies, it would be to switch to metric measurements. Weighing dry ingredients with a kitchen scale will give you consistent, reliable results every single time. This is the inexpensive scale we use and love. It’ll last for years and take your cookies to the next level.
  • Use The Right Flour. For fall cookie recipes that call for gluten-free flour or gluten-free 1:1 flour, we highly recommend King Arthur Measure-For-Measure Gluten-Free Flour blend. If you use another flour blend, be sure it contains xanthan gum for the right texture. Do NOT swap in alternative flours unless they’re called for. Oat flour, coconut flour, and almond flour are not a 1:1 substitute for gluten-free flour.
  • Follow Any Special Techniques Your Recipe Calls For. Browning butter, chilling the dough…these kinds of things add a special touch that’ll take your cookie to the next level AND help you get the texture just right.
