Instructions
 

  • Place a half cup of dairy free chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute. Stir, then microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted. 
  • Spoon the melted chocolate into a candy kiss mold. Place the mold in the refrigerator to firm up, for about one hour. Once firm, remove the candies and repeat with the remaining chocolate chips. Store finished candies in the refrigerator.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream the vegan buttery spread and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree and mix until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time while mixing together on low speed.
  • Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour the half cup of sugar in a small bowl. Use your hands to form balls of dough about one inch in diameter and roll in the sugar. Place the balls on the lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Press a chilled chocolate kiss candy into the center of each cookie. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Repeat with remaining dough. Makes about 24 cookies.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for about 4 days.
