Place the sugar, margarine, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla into a mixing bowl.

Mix well.


Add the pumpkin puree and mix.



Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and baking powder.
Mix very well.



Grease and flour a baking tray.

Place large teaspoons of the pumpkin cookie mixture onto the tray.

Bake in a hot oven at gas mark 6 for 8-9 minutes.



Remove the tray from the oven and flatten each cookie with a fork.



Sprinkle each cookie with cinnamon sugar and place back into the oven for no more than 10 minutes.



For a different cookie than the flat pumpkin cookies, spoon the pumpkin cookie mixture onto the oven tray in large teaspoons.


Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or leave plain.


Place into a hot oven at gas mark 6 for 15-20 minutes.

Is their a conversion chart for gas marks to oven temperatures?

Chef Jeena said...

Hi J.Gladfly,

For this recipe: gas mark 6 is the same as 200C or 400F.

I will be publishing a page with conversions and helpful cooking tips very soon.

Thanks, Jeena.

Hey Jenna, I like the idea or having an eggless recipe on hand even if you do eat eggs. These look great and seasonal with the pumpkin. Nice one.
