Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten free flour blend * see note
  • 1 cup sugar Divided. 1/4 is for rolling the cookie dough.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 large egg
  • 9 tablespoons butter softened
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a large bowl, add the flour blend through the pumpkin pie spice in the ingredients list. Use a wire whisk to blend these dry ingredients together.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Add 1/4 cup of sugar to a small bowl.
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls. Roll with your hands and then roll the cookie dough into the sugar.
  • Place the sugar coated cookie dough balls onto a parchment paper baking sheet. Leave 2 inches around each for room to spread.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

  1. I tested my recipe using King Arthur Measure for Measure flour blend. Others should work as well.
  2. If your blend doesn't contain xanthan or guar gum, add one teaspoon.
  3. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
  4. Freeze in a freezer bag for up to 4 months.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
