Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Coconut Sugar Cookies (Two Ways!)
Incredibly delicious gluten-free roll out coconut sugar cookies in an easy to work with dough full of pumpkin spice flavor! Using refined sugar-free coconut sugar, buckwheat and almond flours, these make for a healthy treat, too! Enjoy these amazing cookies two ways: as a soft, thick and chewy cookie, or as a thin and crispy roll out cookie ready for use with your favorite cookie cutters. The perfect gluten-free autumn treat awaits!
These incredibly tasty pumpkin spice cookies came about one day when my 2 1/2 year old stepped up to me with his big hazel eyes and asked for “koooookies”. I just didn’t couldn’t say no . . .
…and the rest is history! The result? Ridiculously tasty, rather healthy, quite magical cookies! And, I honestly still can’t decide which version I prefer. But they certainly make for a bit of delicious autumn fun. Wouldn’t you agree?
If you choose to scoop and flatten the dough you get some seriously hearty, filling, thick and chewy pumpkin spice yumminess. But if you choose to roll it out, you will be pleasantly surprised by how easy this gluten free dough is to work with and you will enjoy the thin and crispy texture that cookie cutters can afford. My advice? Try it both ways!
