Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and flour. Mix thoroughly until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you shape the cookies.
  3. Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly soft to the touch.
  5. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • The pumpkin pie spice can be adjusted based on your preference for warmth and spice intensity.
  • Ensure the pumpkin purée is well drained to avoid soggy cookie dough.
  • For a firmer cookie, you may chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • These cookies keep well in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
