Janelle Esker I like the sound of these cookies! Just listen…Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies.
See what I mean?
This recipe is my Mom’s who is generally known to many as “THE COOKIE QUEEN”. Famous everywhere for her amazing chocolate chip cookies that no one seems to be able to reproduce. This recipe started out gluten-filled but has been easily transformed into the gluten-free recipe I present to you today.
I like these delicious Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies because they are both moist and flavorful. Those qualities are hard to come by in a gluten-free cookie.
I stumbled across this quote and I thought it would be quite appropriate. Agreed?

Those look delish. Pumpkin Roll is on the menu for Sunday’s family dinner dessert, but I’ve been craving a spicy cookie!
I love pumpkin roll…now, I have never had one since going gluten-free 6 years ago. You have set a challenge before me Barbara! I will start experimenting and hopefully come up with a recipe! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Think you could make it with an AP flour substitute?

I contemplated trying, but my son will be so disappointed if it tastes different. So I’m using organic flour because it is not enriched.
I checked out the recipe Barbara…looks amazing! I am going to give it a try with my gluten free flour mix and then if I am brave try to do it grain-free!
