There’s something so pretty and delicate about sugar cookies, isn’t there?
They just look so nice and innocent.
Until they land on your thighs when you wake up on December 26th, right?
Think again.
These cookies ain’t nothin’ like my eggnog sugar cookies you’re used to munching on.
They’re special.
And they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free and vegan. Whew. There’s a lot that these cookies aren’t.
But flavor sure isn’t one of them.
Chances are you’re sick of baking cookies. It’s Christmas Eve and you can’t look at another bowl of raw cookie dough, right?
Snap out of it. You’ve got company coming over in a few hours and you need these in your life.
Like, now.
So, fire up your oven.
And push aside the green been casserole.
Cause these babies are gunna make you smile and the sweet touch of pumpkin is gunna rock your world!
Now and on December 26th.
Trust me on that one!
Have a very Merry Christmas.
Love to all of you!

Hi Amie, these look incredible. I’m new to gluten free baking from scratch, but I love the idea so I will try these for our NYE family get together. I have a quick question, what brand of powdered stevia are you using in your recipes? Also, what brand of drops do you use? Thanks so much!! Kristen
Thanks Kristen; hope you enjoy them. I use the NuNaturals Stevia in my recipes and I love it! I use their liquid and powdered stevia! Hope that helps!
Amie… I’m playing catch-up on my Google reader and I WANT THESE COOKIES. I do not care that the holidays are over. I do not care if it’s not cool to bake with pumpkin in January. I love this recipe. Thaaaaank you.
Your welcome, Heather. Enjoy darling! xooxox They’re great for Valentine’s Day, too!
