Pumpkin Snickerdoodles - Easy!

You can’t go the first week into October without a pumpkin recipe – so here is mine!  These were so easy. I cut out a step by using a GF sugar cookie mix and it turned out great. I don’t like using mixes all of the time but I have found some of them to be really good (with ingredients I can actually pronounce). I cut out some of the fat by using pumpkin and also boosting some extra flavor. A perfect twist on the traditional snicker doodle. These are great in the afternoon with a cup of hot tea!

 

1 package GF sugar cookie mix

½ cup pumpkin
2 eggs
¼ cup oil
1 Tbsp cinnamon
¼ cup coconut sugar

• In a large mixing bowl, combine cookie mix, pumpkin, eggs and oil until well blended.
• In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and coconut sugar.
• Form dough into 1 inch balls and roll into sugar mixture until coated.
• Place on a greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and flatten with palm.
• Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool about 10 minutes. Store in a sealed container.
