Pumpkin cookies

 Pumpkin is one of my favorite vegetable, its sweetness is what I like most.


Cooking with it is easy, but when I want to put it into cookie is another story. I want to use pumpkin as much as I can in this cookie ^^, well it's not easy to make cookie with something that contains liquid without adding too much flour, and in this recipe I try to avoid wheat flour too. I don't have any problem with wheat or dairy product, but I know that there are so many people that suffer from it, and I think it will be good if I can make a recipe that they will be happy with it without using hard to find ingredient or more chemical addition.
To control the liquid in this recipe, I really recommend cooking the pumpkin in the microwave, as the pumpkin will be cooked by its own water so it drier than boiling or steaming. Let the pumpkin cool completely before adding the sugar is very important too, because if the sugar melt your cookie will become soft after cooling.

Ps.  you can make it in dairy free version by using soy milk too.
