Pumpkin Cookies!


My mom used to make these unbelievable pumpkin cookies when we were kids.  They looked terrible, kind of lumpy and that slightly orangey-brown color that could remind you of something else!  BUT, they tasted so good I looked forward to them every halloween.  Surprisingly, I this is the first year I have tried to make a gluten-free variety (despite going on 5 1/2 years G-F!).
Well, clearly I had to do some tweaking to the original recipe, but so far so good!  The texture was not bad with these cookies, thanks to help from the pumpkin puree (*vegetable and fruit purees do wonders for gluten-free baking!).  I replaced refined sugar with local honey and used a combination of tapioca and brown rice flours.  To add fluffiness and a tiny bit of elasticity, I also separated the eggs and whipped the whites into stiff peaks.  In addition to being gluten, dairy, soy and nut-free, this recipe is also lower in sugar and made with only organic or local ingredients.  Definitely a cookie you can feel good about!

  1. From the images of the watch, I am looking forward to seeing what the piece replica watches like in the metal. Bound to create divisive opinions and controversy. A deep navy blue, the rolex replica uk used on the bakelite bezel and dial as well as the top chronograph pusher. To contrast, the replica watches used on the sub dial rings, chronograph and sub dial hands, the bottom chronograph pusher, and finally on the text reading. Rolex was conceived from an illegitimate relationship with an 2018 replica watches. Anyway we should salute the effort in order to try making rolex replica sale fun. A consistently overrated brand exalted by marketing and a few legitimate innovations decades rolex replica sale that is now cautiously. Just look at Marius picture of the daytona and look how heavy handed the detailing is and the general borderline tacky looks of the watch.
