Pumpkin Cookies


gluten free ~ fat free


1 cup pumpkin puree

1/3 cup coconut flour

2 cups oats

1/3 cup applesauce

½ cup chopped dates

2 TB date sugar (or whatever sweetener you prefer)

½ TB organic black strap molasses

1/8 tsp almond extract

3 TB fresh squeezed orange juice

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Pinch of: sea salt, cream of tartar, ground ginger, white pepper and ground cloves

Taste and make adjustments as needed.

In 350 degree oven - bake on nonstick cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes depending on thickness. Bake less for a softer cookie.

By hand mix the pumpkin, coconut flour, applesauce, and dates.

Add the extract, orange juice and molasses. Mix well.

Next add the dry spices continuing to combine well and finally add the oats.

Check to see if it is as sweet as you’d like and adjust.

This is thick enough to roll out and cut or form cookies by hand.
