As my sister and I were Facetiming talking about how much we’re looking forward to fall, she showed me her batch of pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies that she had just baked.

In that moment, I wish I could have reached through the screen and grab a cookie for myself. Immediately, I decided to run to the commissary, buy the ingredients and get to work: I was not disappointed with the outcome! And they are gluten-free.

These cookies are the perfect fall treat.
