Pumpkin Spice Cookies

I love the smell of freshly baked pumpkin cookies! These awesome little treats are full of vitamin A and taste great.  They are full of flavor and nutrients yet free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar! Plus, I promise, they are super easy to make…

What You’ll Need:
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil 
2 Cups Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour 
1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
1 1/2 tsp + 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ginger
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
3/4 Cup + 1/2 Cup Coconut Sugar
1 Organic Egg Lightly Beaten
1/2 Cup Pumpkin 
1/2 tsp Gluten Free Vanilla

What You’ll Do:
Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees. Add solid coconut oil (tends to be solid at room temperature and need to liquefy) to a sauce pan over medium heat. When liquefied, remove from heat and pour into mixing bowl; add beaten egg, 3/4 cup of coconut sugar, pumpkin and vanilla. In a separate mixing bowl, combine flour, xanthan gum, 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, and salt. Carefully add dry ingredients to the wet ones. Next, in another bowl combine the 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg. This mixture will be used to coat the cookies. “Grease” your cookie sheets by using a misto. Take your cookie mixture, roll into small balls, flatten, then coat with coconut sugar and spices. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool and place of wire rack! These cookies keep well and get even softer when stored in an airtight container! ENJOY:)
