    Pumpkin Snickerdoodles — Common Recipe Questions

    1. Can I replace the cassava flour with a different gluten-free flour?

      I wrote this recipe with cassava flour in mind, and have not tested this recipe with any other flour before, so I do not advise it! If you find yourself experimenting however, I would love to hear about it!

    2. I don’t have cream of tartar, can I omit it?

      Yes, you can omit it for a still-tasty cookie. Just keep in mind that the texture will not be quite the same and the cookies will come out a bit flatter.

    3. What can I use in place of coconut oil?

      You can use softened butter or vegan butter in place of coconut oil this recipe.

    4. Can I use a regular egg instead of a flax egg in this recipe?

      Yes, so long as you are not on a vegan diet - you sure can! A chia egg works, too.

    Top Tips for Making Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

    1. Pure Pumpkin

      I only recommend using pure pumpkin puree without any added ingredients for best results. My favorite pumpkin puree comes from Thrive Market.

    2. Make it Sugar-Free

      To make sugar-free pumpkin cookies, I recommend replacing the coconut sugar in this recipe with this sugar-free sweetener.

    3. Flatten it Out

      I designed this recipe to be a thick and chewy cake-like cookie. If that’s not your thing, simply flatten the cinnamon sugar coated dough balls before baking!

    4. Store It

      These gluten-free pumpkin cookies keep well at room temperature for up to 24 hours, or stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

      OMG these are sooooo yummy! We can’t get canned pumpkin in Australia, so I just baked and mashed a butternut squash (called pumpkin here). These are so so so good.
