Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 125 g butter softened
  • 150 g light brown sugar
  • 1 medium egg
  • 200 g gluten-free self-raising flour
  • 150 g gluten-free oats
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp ground mixed spice
  • ¾ tsp xanthan gum
  • 100 g tinned pumpkin

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 115 g full-fat cream cheese
  • 60 g icing sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the egg and mix it in, followed by the gluten free flour, gluten free oats, bicarbonate of soda, mixed spice and xanthan gum. Mix until fully combined.
  • Mix in the tinned pumpkin so fully combined. Cover and chill the mixture in the fridge for an hour or so, or the freezer for less time.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C fan / 200C and line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
  • Divide the mixture into portions - I always weigh mine out to be around 65g - and roll into balls. They might be a little sticky, but chilling should have helped with this. If you need to. simply flour your hands a little.
  • Place them onto the prepared baking trays, press down the balls slightly and don’t put them too closely together.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until a dark golden colour. Then leave to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, mix up the cheese and then add in the icing sugar and vanilla - mix once more. Either place in a piping bag and pipe over the cooled cookies or dollop on using a teaspoon.
