1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees (F).

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
3
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flours, starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, brown sugar) for 90 seconds with a whisk, making sure to get all of the flours and xanthan gum incorporated.
4
Cut in butter until it is about the size of peas.
5
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.

In another medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients (pumpkin, heavy cream and egg) then pour into the well and fold them into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon, taking care not to over beat.

Using a large cookie baller (mine is about 3 tablespoons), scoop the dough onto the parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 15-17 minutes, until lightly golden on the bottom.
9
Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
