When days get shorter, thoughts turn to cozy comforts. These cookies deliciously fit that bill. They bake up soft, pillowy and filled with the warm flavors of pumpkin, maple, cinnamon, apple and vanilla. What’s more comforting still is they’re gluten-free and supply good healthy fats and protein. And really, what’s more comforting than healthy? Sure, you’ll want to enjoy them with tea and a good book in your favorite comfy chair, but they also work as a smart to-go snack when you lace up your boots and hit the cool, colorful trails.
