Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk well until the sugars dissolve and the mixture becomes smooth.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough and drop it onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The dough will be slightly sticky—this is normal!

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops of the cookies no longer look wet.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, dust the cooled cookies lightly with gluten-free powdered sugar before serving.
