THE BEST Gluten-Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
These gluten-free white chocolate pumpkin snickerdoodles are soft baked, full of delicious fall flavours & rich, melty white chocolate chips. Whether or not you follow a gluten-free or dairy-free diet, this recipe is sure to please everyone! Note that if you are not gluten-free you should be able to use regular flour & have them turn out great. I haven’t tried this but the gluten-free flour I use is typically a 1:1 sub for regular flour.
DAIRY-FREE Gluten-Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
These gluten-free white chocolate pumpkin snickerdoodles can be made dairy-free by using a vegan butter, I like & used this one. I love baking with this vegan butter for an authentic baked good texture & crumb but without any dairy. You could also try using coconut oil in this recipe, however I haven’t tried that so can’t say for sure how it would affect the overall product.
I also recommend using dairy-free white chocolate chips or dairy-free regular chocolate chips instead.
CAN THESE Gluten-Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles BE MADE LOWER-in sugar?
Yes! I recommend swapping the regular sugar with Lakanto to keep this recipe lower in sugar & carbs, if desired. I also like using these white chocolate chips for a lower sugar option.
Ingredients you will need for these Gluten-Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles:
Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
- butter, softened (I used a vegan one from Miyokos, but regular will work too)
- sugar (You can use Lakanto for lower sugar)
- pumpkin purée
- 1 egg
- vanilla extract
- pink salt
- baking soda
- pumpkin spice
- gluten-free flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill GF baking flour or you can also use regular flour if you are not gluten-free)
- white chocolate chips (these are a lower sugar white chocolate option but any white chocolate chips will work)
Topping
- cinnamon
- cup sugar
How to store these Gluten-Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
I recommend storing them in an air-sealed container for up to one week.
Can I freeze these Gluten-Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
Yes! Definitely. They freeze great & simply re-heat when you want to enjoy one! Or if you are like me & like slightly frozen cookies, wait 10-15 minutes after taking them out of the fridge!
Tips to make the best Gluten-Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
- Roll the dough into a ball, dip in the topping & then flatten to the size you want them to be on the cookie sheet. They fluff up a lot but if you leave them as a ball they won’t flatten enough to be the perfect cookie shape.
- Add a couple white chocolate chips to the top of the cookies before baking.
- Don’t over-bake them! Removing the cookies from the oven while they are still slightly soft & letting them cool will result in the most perfect softly baked cookie that is not dried out!
