Another great recipe to make with a pumpkin is cookies. The thing when you cook your own, is that you will get the taste you want from it because you control the cooking. It’s also a nice cookie recipe to put on your Thanksgiving table or you can even bring it as a  gift to someone who’s gluten intolerant.

There are things you have to verify though when you cook for others.

• Make sure your tools are really well washed and that there are no cross contamination with wheat flour or products that contain gluten.
• Use certified gluten-free ingredients. Even spices may contain gluten, so double check.

There is one thing for sure, it’s that the person who will receive this gift will really appreciate it.
