DELICIOUS PUMPKIN-PECAN COOKIES



Delicious Pumpkin-Pecan Cookies image

A very good friend of mine gave me this pumpkin-pecan cookie recipe when I was searching for just the right cookie around Thanksgiving. These were by far the best I have ever tried and are simple to make. The recipe can be cut in half, because as is, it makes around 2 dozen. I would also love to know any alterations that make them any better! Enjoy!

BUTTER PECAN PUMPKIN COOKIES

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box butter pecan cake mix
1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all four ingredients together, roll into small balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on how small or large you make your cookies).
  • Sprinkle left over chopped pecans on top of the cookies as soon as they come out (optional).
  • Makes about 24 cookies

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cookies a more intense pumpkin flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree. Just be sure to drain the excess liquid before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. Letting the cookies cool completely will help them set and develop their flavor.

Conclusion:

These Pumpkin Pecan Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and spicy flavor. The pecans add a nice crunch and the pumpkin puree gives them a moist texture. These cookies are sure to be a hit at your next holiday party.
