Question 1

Can I use homemade pumpkin purée instead of canned?

Accepted Answer

Yep! Homemade works great. Just make sure it’s well-drained so your dough doesn’t get too soft.

Question 2

Do I need to chill the dough before using it?

Accepted Answer

Nope. This dough is ready to bake right after you mix it. Chilling isn’t necessary because the pumpkin keeps the cookies soft and fluffy.

Question 3

Can I swap the oil for butter?

Accepted Answer

Sure. Melted butter will give a richer, slightly denser cookie, but still totally delicious.

Question 4

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend instead of fresh milled flour and check your chocolate chips for gluten-free certification.
