Gluten free baking mixes are underrated. It is great to find your own combinations that work for you, but when you find one that creates delicious anything, you need to keep it handy. These gluten free Chocolate Chip Pumpkin cookies were made using Pamela’s Baking Mix. I use this mix a lot for my kids… pancakes, waffles, cookies and dinner rolls to name a few. The outcome is always fantastic and most people can’t even tell it’s gluten free.

In the spirit of all things Halloween and Thanksgiving, I added pumpkin and molasses to holiday up an already favorite recipe. I often bake traditional chocolate chip cookies using this baking mix and use them as the send in to school treat, so my kids can enjoy.

I doubled the recipe making @ 30 cookies. If you don’t think you will use this much in a few days, freeze some for later. It’s probably a bad thing to keep treats un the fridge, but do it anyway! If you store them in a sealed, glass container, separating the cookies with parchment paper, they will last for up to week. Adding walnuts would be a really good addition to the recipe too.
