Sharing A Recipe For Pumpkin Cookies

[wolfie]

This is my Grandma's recipe. I substituted gluten-free flour and they came out amazing!! Gluten-free heaven!! DS & DD loves them!

Pumpkin Cookies

1 cup sugar

½ cup shortening (I used butter b/c I can't do soy)

2 eggs, beaten with whisk

1 cup pumpkin (not pie mix)

1½ cups flour (I used the Featherlight mix from Bette Hagman plus 1 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum)

1 tsp. cinnamon

4 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

I also added 1/2 tsp of cloves & 1/2 tsp of ginger

Mix together sugar and shortening. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Spoon onto nonstick baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees 10-12 minutes. Cool completely before icing.

Icing

2 cups powdered sugar

1 Tbsp. milk (may need more)

1 tsp. vanilla

I add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the icing sometimes, too!

Mix with mixer. Spoon onto cookies.

I made these today. My gluten-eating husband ate them before I frosted them and said they were the best thing I had ever baked! Meaning even when I baked with gluten.

I made them with Spectrum shortening and almond milk since we are casein and soy free.

Thanks for sharing the recipe.
