NOTE:
*I used fresh pumpkin I roasted myself so if you use the canned stuff these cookies may be a little more wet.
**If you are a seasoned baker, you could sub in different flours. For instance, if you don’t like brown rice flour, you could use spelt or whole wheat or buckwheat. You may need to alter the moisture as some flours absorb more liquid.
