GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN, OAT AND CRANBERRY COOKIES
Steps:
- For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour blend, oat flour, quick-cooking oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the softened coconut oil, granulated sugar and coconut sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture in two additions, alternating with the pumpkin puree, stirring just until combined. Stir in the cranberries.
- Place some old-fashioned oats in a small bowl. Using a 1 3/4-inch ice-cream scoop, scoop up cookie dough and drop it into the bowl. Roll the dough in the oats to coat. Place the dough on a prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cookie dough. Bake until the cookies are golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet set over a wire rack.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt.
Tips:
- Use almond flour and oats for a gluten-free base: Almond flour and oats provide a naturally gluten-free base for these cookies, making them suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
- Add pumpkin puree for moistness and flavor: Pumpkin puree adds moisture, sweetness, and a vibrant orange color to the cookies. It also contributes to the soft and chewy texture.
- Use a combination of spices for a warm and inviting flavor: A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves adds a warm and inviting flavor to the cookies, reminiscent of fall and pumpkin spice lattes.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough and dry cookies. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which is not desired in gluten-free baking.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps to firm it up and prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This results in thicker and chewier cookies.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Conclusion:
This gluten-free pumpkin cookie recipe is a delightful treat that combines the flavors of fall with the convenience of gluten-free baking. The cookies are moist, chewy, and bursting with pumpkin spice flavor. Whether you're following a gluten-free diet or simply looking for a delicious and festive cookie recipe, these gluten-free pumpkin cookies are sure to be a hit.
