Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in the vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and egg until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the dough, spacing each ball about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Flatten each dough ball lightly using your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
