To begin making Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies I dumped some Crisco shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar, large eggs and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl.

 

Then I used a large wooden spoon to cream those ingredients together.

After the ingredients were creamed I added in some pure pumpkin puree.

Next I added in the dry ingredients.  I measured in Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour, some baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and salt.  

Decide now whether you would like to add chocolate chips to the dough.  Sometimes I bake half without and then add some.

Then I used a scoop to drop balls of cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

I used a fork to flatten the dough balls slightly.

Next I baked the cookies in a preheated 350F oven for 10 – 12 minutes or until they were starting to turn golden brown around the bottom edge.

After removing them from the oven I allowed them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies will complement your cup of tea or coffee any time of the day.  They also travel well so can easily be packed in lunches.

Enjoy the soft texture and burst of pumpkin spice in every bite!
