Gluten Free Pumpkin Sugar Cookies
Gluten free pumpkin sugar cookies are such a fun way to bake up a seasonal treat for your family and friends. I am huge fan of the spice mixed in with the canned pumpkin. I really want to try this recipe with fresh pumpkin one of these days too. Baking cookies to gift to friends is one of my favorite ways to spread kindness. Baked treats like these gluten free cookies are great to give to neighbors, teachers, co-workers, friends, nurses and well – really anyone at all. I love using gluten free recipe for school staff appreciation treats because often times there is a teacher who eats a gluten free diet.
Candies on Cookies
If you plan to add candies to the top and you want to be sure that the recipe is totally gluten free, be sure to check the candy that you buy before putting it on the baked cookies. While the mallowcremes are the most decorative, any kind of candy would work with this recipe. There are some good white chocolate bars that could be grated and added to the tops too.

Packaging the Cookies to Gift
These cookies are delicious and perfect for gifting. They are pretty sturdy so package well in a little pillow box as well as a bag or plastic container. Hand stamping the packaging for baked goodies is always a really good idea. Making tags to attach to the cookies is super fun and adds such a special touch if you are putting the in a bag or a container.

How fun! For me it is too soon, it's still the Dog Days of summer with 100°+ temps, it is far too hot to even think of turning on the stove or oven. And will be prepared come cooler weather. My co-workers will love you! Thanks for sharing. 🍊🍊🍊
