Recipe Notes
As mentioned, this cookie recipe calls for ground cinnamon. Please choose a ground cinnamon that does not come with sugar added to it in order to keep this recipe as low in sugar as possible.
Also needed in this recipe is ground nutmeg.
You can find ground nutmeg online if you are unable to find it at your local grocery store. Again, please select a ground nutmeg that has not been combined with other ingredients such as sugar.
Pumpkin puree comes in a can (usually 15 ounce) and is the kind of pumpkin that is used in baking recipes such as this one. To make this low carb, use a low carb all purpose flour.
Also, to make this keto use a keto all purpose flour. Lastly, to make this recipe gluten free, use an all purpose gluten free flour.
Also, if you are using Almond flour, please add an additional egg to the batter to aid in the binding process. I suggest anyone using any of the all purpose flour alternatives check the packaging to see if an additional egg or other binder for gluten free baking is needed as well. Nutritional Information is only an estimate and can vary especially with ingredients that are used. See post for further details.
