INGREDIENTS:
2 cups All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
2/3 cup Coconut Sugar
2 tbsps Pumpkin Pie Spice (divided)
1 1/4 cups Pureed Pumpkin
1/4 cup Coconut Oil (melted)
1 tbsp Blackstrap Molasses
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and half of the pumpkin pie spice. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix the pureed pumpkin, melted coconut oil, molasses, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a dough is formed.
Fill a small bowl with the remaining pumpkin pie spice. For each cookie, scoop approximately two tablespoons of batter into your hands and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the pumpkin pie spice until completely coated.
Transfer the dough balls to the baking sheet and lightly press down on each with the palm of your hand, until the cookie is approximately two and a half inches in diameter.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes. Enjoy!
