gluten free vegan pumpkin cutout cookies

October 22, 2015 by Sarah 4 Comments

Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Cutout Cookies. These soft pumpkin sugar cookies are perfect for decorating too! I like to call sugar cookies “celebration cookies”. We make them at Christmas time, at Easter too, even for birthdays. They are like a blank canvas for whatever the holiday may be. They are also a kid favorite because they are usually covered in frosting and sprinkles!

When it comes to being creative in the kitchen, I love taking something original (like a cutout sugar cookie) and changing it into something new. With a little pumpkin puree and spices, I’ve come up with a gluten free vegan pumpkin cutout cookie. It has the softest texture ever and is just about the cutest fall cookie you ever did see!

I can’t decided if I like these pumpkin cutout cookies better with or without frosting. Without frosting, they are perfect for dipping in my cup of coffee. With frosting, they get both my husband’s and kid’s vote. Either way, these pumpkin cutout cookies are just what you need to serve at your halloween or fall party this year. Put out some toppings (sprinkles, mini chocolate chips), a bowl of the vanilla frosting and you’ve got a pumpkin cookie bar. Fun times for all!

    Great recipe! I didn’t have vegan ingredients on-hand so I substituted butter and half-n-half. The cookies turned out delicious and were a big hit with even my gluten-eating friends and neighbors.

    I won’t be insensitive and talk about animal products, and I know gluten intolerance is a real thing. However, your recipe seems to be the best one out there, but I do bake with gluten products. Will regular vegan unbleached flour work as well? Do you know? Thank you.

    I made these last night, and they turned out great! I actually enjoyed the dough by itself! But I baked them anyway and gave them to a group of hungry guys.
