Instructions
Add the vegan butter, applesauce, coconut sugar, and molasses to a mixing bowl, and mix.
Add arrowroot, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, clove, and black pepper to the mixture, and mix.
Add gluten-free flour, and mix again. Add pecan pulp, and mix. Cover with clear wrap, and transfer to the fridge for at least one hour to firm up.
Preheat oven to 350F.
When ready, roll out the cookie dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Using a gingerbread man cookie cutter, cut dough into cookies, and transfer onto a cookie sheet.
Bake on 350F until golden brown. This takes approx. 10-15 minutes.
When ready, remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool.
Once cooled, decorate however you like! You can use icing, sprinkles, powdered sugar, etc.

If I was making a non-gluten free, non-vegan recipe what would I change?
You can use dairy butter in place of the vegan butter and use all-purpose flour in place of the gluten-free flour.
How would the cookies work with cashew/oat pulp I wonder. MIGHT be back if I am brave enough to try…
Hi Rebekah, cashew/oat pulp sounds like a delicious substitution for the pecan pulp! The resulting texture may differ since cashew pulp is one of the wetter pulps and oat pulp is the second driest to almond pulp. Do let us know if you do try the recipe with or without the substitution! 🙂
Cheers!
