EASY PUMPKIN COOKIES



EASY PUMPKIN COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole package of Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread Mix
1 cup earth balance(a healthy butter substitute)
1/2 Tb spoon sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • Bring earth balance(butter/vegetable spread) to room temperature. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix butter,sugar, vanilla and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Slowly pour in Trader Joe's pumpkin bread flour and mix into a dough. Roll the dough along the inside of the bowl to form a large ball. Cover the bowl, and chill the dough for atleast an hour. Come back, and shape the dough into tablespoon sized small lumps. ( approx. 1/3 of the dough will make 12 cookies) Place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart, and bake 10-15 minutes. This will make them brown on the bottom, crunchy around the edges and soft in the middle.

Tips:

  • Utilize canned pumpkin: For convenience and time-saving, opt for canned pumpkin purée instead of fresh pumpkin. Ensure you use pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
  • Soften butter thoroughly: Room temperature butter is crucial for achieving a smooth and creamy cookie dough. Softened butter incorporates air more easily, resulting in light and fluffy cookies.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and ensures they hold their shape better.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough cookies. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Space the cookies properly: Place the cookie dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to allow for spreading and prevent overcrowding.
  • Bake until the edges are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can dry out the cookies.

Conclusion:

These easy pumpkin cookies are a delightful treat that captures the essence of fall flavors. With their soft and chewy texture, warm pumpkin spice aroma, and sweet glaze, these cookies are sure to be a hit among family and friends. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is a great choice for creating delicious and festive pumpkin cookies that are perfect for any occasion. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's embark on a delightful baking journey together!
