Having a dairy allergy can be annoying at times and it can make grocery shopping a challenge. I have to be a label reader at the store when shopping so I avoid buying something with a milk ingredient in it. That means I avoid food items with milk, butter, cream, etc. I have to be careful to avoid any dairy ingredients in my food as eating dairy can cause me to be nauseated or have an asthma attack. The one section of the store that I avoid going into is the bakery section as most sweet bakery items have dairy ingredients in them and the labels can be hard to read. Why do they put the ingredient label on the bottom of the container? In order for me to read the ingredients, I have to turn the container over and that can not be done without damaging the bakery item. So to avoid an allergy attack, I just make my own allergy-friendly baked goods at home. Since I don't always have time to bake, that helps with the number of sweets that I consume.
Pumpkin cookies were calling my name
I was at the store the other day and I did my best to walk fast past the bakery section so I did not get tempted to buy unsafe cookies. I go past the produce section and there on an end cap display were pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. You know the soft moist fresh pumpkin cookies that the store sells around Thanksgiving. I guess these cookies are so delicious and popular that they decided to sell them in July. I started drooling over the cookies and could almost taste them but I did not pick up a package of the cookies as I did not want to suffer later from eating them. My kids hate that I don't buy cookies anymore but I can't have them in the house or I may eat one. The only sweets that I buy them are granola bars and ice cream. When I buy these sweets, I make sure to pick up a dairy-free version for myself so I don't touch the ones with milk in them. My favorite dairy-free ice cream is made with coconut milk.
Had to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
When I got home from grocery shopping, I still had those moist decadent chocolate chip pumpkin cookies on my mind and I had to bake some cookies. So I pulled out my dairy-free recipe for dairy-free cookies. I was glad that I still had a can of pumpkin in my pantry that was left over from Thanksgiving. I also remembered that I still had a package of Swerve sweetener in my pantry from the last time I made Healthy Homemade Peanut Butter Granola. This zero-calorie sweetener is my favorite to bake with as it makes my baked goods low-sugar. This sweetener tastes so close to sugar and my family can not tell the difference when I substitute this sweetener for white sugar. I like using Swerve sweetener when I bake as it makes my baked goods lower in calories and sugar. Then my treats are a bit healthier. I also tried a new vanilla extract in this recipe and it had an amazing pure vanilla taste.

Love my pink stand mixer
Last year I gave in and bought myself a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer and it was the best decision that I ever made. I had been going back and forth for a long time about whether I should buy a stand mixer as it was kind of pricey. I'm glad I finally decide to buy a Kitchenaid mixer and I keep asking myself why I waited so long to buy one. I thought why purchase a stand mixer when I am able to mix things by hand. I found out that a Kitchenaid mixer is the best appliance for baking and more. The stand mixer saves me so much time when making cookies so I now make cookies more often. This pink stand mixer does all the mixing for me including creaming the butter. My 11-year-old son can now make cookies without my help. I bought the Artisan mini Kitchenaid mixer in bubblegum pink but the Kitchenaid Guava Glaze color is so similar. If you are not a fan of pink this mixer comes in so many pretty colors. You can even personalize your mixer with decals.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN COOKIES
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned? I don't recommend using fresh pumpkin as it will make the cookies too moist and undercooked as fresh pumpkin has more water in it.
Can I double the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe? I always double the recipe so I can use up the whole can of pumpkin. A can of pumpkin has two cups in it, by doubling the recipe you get more cookies and no leftover pumpkin to be discovered rotten weeks later in the back of the fridge.
Can I use a replacement for vegetable oil? You can use other oils like canola, coconut oil, corn oil, and even olive oil.
Can I refrigerate the dough overnight before baking? If you are short on time and can bake the cookies right away, refrigerating the cookie dough is fine. It may result in a different texture but the taste will still be just as delicious.
Can I make the cookies vegan? To make the cookies vegan, just use an egg substitute. Check out these 11 egg substitute recipes for baking and more!
Can I make the cookies low-fat? You can make the cookies lower in fat by substituting applesauce or mashed banana for the vegetable oil. This may result in a different taste but the cookies will still be delicious.

Can I make the cookies with less sugar? I make my cookies lower in sugar all the time with a zero-calorie sweetener that has a taste similar to sugar and it measures just like white sugar. In my opinion, this low-calorie sweetener has a sweeter taste than sugar so I use 3/4 cups instead of one cup of white sugar. My favorite zero-calorie sweetener even has varieties of brown sugar and confectioners(powder) sugar.

That has to be tough to have to make dairy free and gluten free. Hopefully you can use a gluten free flour blend to make these
I know, I love pumpkin season and the store was starting it early
Thankfully, my allergy is not life threatining but if I eat one bite but if I ate too much, my asthma gets out of control. I would rather skip dairy and not have to take medications.
Tara, those cookies do look absolutely amazing. You made me laugh out loud when you mentioned going past the bakery section as quickly as possible only to come face to face with the cookies at the end of the produce section. Maybe, they noticed you going passed the bakery section a number of times so they decided to catch up with you. Lol!! Your pink mixer looks so amazing. I am off sugary foods for a few months so maybe I will try these if and when I go back to sugary or sweet foods.
Wow! I want to make these asap. I can't wait to make a snack like this. I need to start getting my zero calorie sweeteners.
They do look amazing! Love everything in your recipe! I'm looking forward to trying them!
You mixer is so cute! Mine is red and I just used it the other day to make a cake. :)
These cookies look amazing. Pumpkin and chocolate...my 2 favorites! Thanks for sharing!
I cant eat most of the items in the bakery section so I avoid that section. I have to go by the bakery to get to the produce section.
OMG these cookies look absolutely amazing! I'm not sure I've ever had a pumpkin cookie before. But I love pumpkin cupcakes so I'm sure I would love pumpkin cookies.
