Healthy Gluten Free Pumpkin cookies


These are a very healthy snack for everyone!   They are not too sweet but can be made as sweet as you would like, my little girl thinks they are perfect just the way they are!!
Ingredients:
2tbls Molasses
½ cup Honey OR the no sugar option… 10 drops vanilla Stevie w/ ¼ tsp of Stevie powder….I did the Stevie and  ¼ cup honey for mineJ
1 can cooked pumpkin OR 1 cup of your fresh baked pumpkinJ
6 tbl butter OR you can use vegetable oil OR applesauce in its place
½ cup of Amaranth flour, Millet flour, quinoa flour, brown rice, and ground flax seeds = 2 ½ cups
1 tsp pumpkin spice or cinnamon
¼ tsp real salt  (Redmond Real Salt is amazing!!)
1 ¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cream of tarter
½ cup dark chocolate chips or carob chips or raisins
½ cup of your favorite nuts… (I chose walnuts although I think pecans would be fabulous too!)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Thoroughly mix honey or sweateners of choice with molasses, and pumpkin. Add butter. In a separate bowl mix next  ingredients. Add to pumpkin mixture. Fold in Raisins and nuts.
Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet or cooking stone if you have one. Bake until light brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and cool. They would be yummy with some frosting!
Optional frosting:
One small container soft goat cheese combined with 2 tbls Maple syrup or as much as tastes good to youJ
