    Hi - I make the Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Cookies without chocolate chips for my 3yo son who can't have chocolate. I plan to bring in either some pumpkin shaped cookies to my son's preschool classroom on Fri or make some pumpkin almond flour cookies. BUT I do not know what would be safe food coloring to make the pumpkins orange or a recipe to make the almond flour cookies with pumpkin. Any ideas?

    thx!

    Hi, I don't think you would need ANY coloring- the pumpkin should do it. I've noticed canned pumpkin isn't always as orange- you could either try baking your own sugar pie pumpkin or other squash then puree-ing the flesh - that tends to be very orange. OR you might try looking for organic canned pumpkin - it could be more orange. I use pumpkin for bread, cupcakes, soup, etc.. and it's always orange. (I bake my own though- cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out seeds, place flat down on baking sheet and bake for 30-40 mins depending on size. When done scoop out flesh into a bowl and mash it with a potato masher. It freezes really well, in small freezer containers).

    Hope this helps.. selkie
