Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin puree and the egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
- Once the dough is chilled, remove one disc from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the rolled-out dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second disc of dough.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can decorate the cookies with icing or enjoy them plain. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and maintain cookie shape • Use a light touch when rolling out the dough – too much handling can make cookies tough • Invest in good quality cookie cutters for beautiful, uniform shapes • Don't overbake! Remove cookies when edges are just golden for a soft, tender result • Let cookies cool completely before decorating to prevent icing from melting • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days • For extra flair, consider adding a light glaze or sprinkle of powdered sugar after cooling
