Add in:1/2 cup Organic Coconut Oil or Spectrum Organic Shortening
Combine until the mixture is a bit crumbly and sandy.
Add in:1 cup canned pumpkin1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract1 tablespoon pure maple syrup1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
Beat to combine.Note: I did not need to do this, but-- if the dough is too stiff to handle, add your favorite non-dairy milk, one tablespoon at a time and just enough make a sticky gooey dough.Stir in:1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips1/2 cup raisins or currants
Option to add in, if you like:1/2 cup chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts
Baking Instructions: Using a soup spoon drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the parchment paper. The dough is sticky, so use moist fingers to help round out and mound the dough; don't flatten them, just shape them a bit.
Bake in the center of a preheated oven till golden and firm. This is anywhere from 18 to 25 minutes, depending upon your oven, and whether or not you have added in fruit and nuts, etc.Cool the cookies on a wire rack.
Drizzle with my Maple Nutmeg Icing- recipe is here.These cookies were fabulous slightly warm from the oven. The outside of the cookie gets a little bit crisp as it cools and the inside stays tender and slightly chewy.We wrapped and froze extras. They are delicious warmed slightly in the microwave.Makes 22-24 medium cookies.Recipe Source: glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com
