SUGAR-FREE PUMPKIN COOKIES
These cookies are so good, and they taste a little bit like pumpkin pie. They have a cake-like texture, but they are moist. I make them for my mother-in-law, primarily, because she is diabetic, and she adores them. We live at high altitude (6,800-ish ft.), and they work fine. *Note*: Do not flatten them before putting them in the oven. They do not change shape (flatten) themselves, but I think that helps them keep their moisture when they're stored.

Steps:
- Cookies:
- Cream first 4 ingredients together.
- Sift dry ingredients together and add to the applesauce/pumpkin/egg/xylitol mixture.
- Blend well.
- Drop dough by spoon onto a pam sprayed cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Remove from oven.
- Remove cookies from cookie sheet and place on a wire rack.
- While still warm, drizzle with frosting.
- Frosting:
- Cook butter, milk, xylitol and molasses until xylitol is thoroughly disolved. Add vanilla extract.
- Keep frosting warm while drizzling over the top of the warm cookies.
- I find it easier to just very quickly dunk the top portion of the cookie in the frosting.
Tips:
- Use a ripe pumpkin: A ripe pumpkin will have a deep orange color and be heavy for its size. You can also tell if a pumpkin is ripe by pressing on the skin; it should be slightly soft.
- Roast the pumpkin before using: Roasting the pumpkin will bring out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the pumpkin, cut it in half, remove the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast the pumpkin at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is tender.
- Use a sugar substitute that you like: There are many different sugar substitutes available, so you can choose one that you like the taste of. Some popular sugar substitutes include stevia, erythritol, and monk fruit.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them crisp up and get golden brown. Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are set.
Conclusion:
These sugar-free pumpkin cookies are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the fall season. They are made with wholesome ingredients and are sweetened with a natural sugar substitute, so they are perfect for people with diabetes or who are looking to reduce their sugar intake. The cookies are also gluten-free and egg-free, so they can be enjoyed by people with food allergies.
