Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Eat or Drink's Gluten Free Cookie Flour Blend Recipe - click for recipe
- 1/2 cup rolled oats - make sure they say gluten free if cross contamination is an issue
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup cane sugar - can be replaced by using more coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum - optional but does help improve the texture
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 1/4 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter
- 1/4 cup dairy free butter
Mix-Ins *Optional and can be changed based on your preference
- 1/4 cup craisins
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk together all dry ingredients and set aside. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Melt your dairy free butter and pour on top of your pumpkin puree and sunflower seed butter while it's still warm. This will help soften the sunflower seed butter making it easier to mix. Mix all wet ingredients together very well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and also pour in your mix-ins. Mix well with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. I suggest using your hands to mix the cookie dough very well at the end.
- Using your hands to shape the cookie dough into balls and then place on your baking sheet. With a fork press the cookies down in a crosshatch pattern. Bake for 10 minutes rotate then put back in the oven for another 6 - 9 minutes. They will be slightly soft when they come out of the oven but should not be wet, they will solidify more as they sit and come to room temperature.
