Ingredients

  • 140 grams of White Rice Flour
  • 84 grams of Tapioca Flour
  • 56 grams of Brown Rice Flour
  • ½ teaspoon of Xanthan Gum
  • 1 ½ teaspoon of Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon of Ground Ginger
  • ½ teaspoon of All-Spice
  • ¼ teaspoon of Nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon of Salt
  • 130 grams of Unsalted Butter at room temperature
  • 150 grams of Brown Sugar
  • 110 grams of Granulated White Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 255 grams of Pumpkin Puree

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • In a bowl, add the white rice flour, tapioca flour, brown rice flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, all-spice, nutmeg, and salt. Using a whisk, combine the ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated white sugar. Using a stand-alone mixer or a hand-held mixer, beat the ingredients at medium-high speed until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes). Then, add the eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and beat until creamy (1-2 minutes).
  • Then, reduce the speed of the stand-alone mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Beat until just combined.
  • Align a baking tray with parchment paper, and roll the cookie dough into balls, about one tablespoon and a half each. Set each cookie dough about 3 cm apart (1 inch).
  • Bake the gluten free pumpkin cookies for 10-13 minutes or until the edges are golden.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and store it in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to two days.
  • Storage: The gluten free pumpkin cookies can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for three days. They can also be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Dairy-free Option: To make these cookies dairy-free, use vegan butter instead of unsalted butter.
