BEST PUMPKIN COOKIES

What can I say about these amazing pumpkin cookies... they are absolutely delicious! Let me put it this way. I baked these every year at Thanksgiving time for my job. My co-workers would come up to me two months in advance to make sure I was making them. One girl who resigned actually called me and asked what day I was bringing them in so that she could stop by - just for these cookies! Another co-worker said she didn't even like pumpkin, but she loved these. The consistency is more cake-like than cookie. The glaze on top of these cookies is fabulous! At least, I think so. I noticed a few of you who rated this recipe said it was too sweet. That is why I suggested it may be omitted, or if you wish, use your own icing. Lots of you have added nutmeg.. hey, make it all your own. That's what this is all about! : )

Time 35m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2-2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Have ready some ungreased baking sheets.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and the sugars together until light and fluffy.
  • Blend in pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract.
  • In separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • Mix flour mixture into butter-sugar mixture.
  • Drop tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges.
  • Remove warm cookies and transfer to racks.
  • Let cool completely for a least one half hour, then frost with glaze.
  • For Glaze:.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly. Cook, stirring constantly, for one minute or until slightly thickened. Beat in the milk. Blend in confectioner's sugar until the glaze is smooth and spreadable. Using a silicone basting brush, which I love and use religiously now, or a butter knife to spread glaze on cookies is the best tip. Please note; this glaze will harden fairly quickly. I suggest that you keep the saucepan over the stove on the lowest heat possible to prevent it from hardening.

Time 30m

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pumpkin
1 cup chocolate chips, i use milk chocolate
1 cup cinnamon baking chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Add in egg, pumpkin, and vanilla and mix.
  • Then add flour oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and mix well.
  • Then stir in CHocolate chips and cinnamon chips.
  • Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes or until firm and lightly brown.
  • (OPT) You can shape these into pumpkins before baking and when done and cooled decorate with frosting or peanut butter (I love them just plain).
  • I usually eat mine when they are totally cooled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin. These varieties are sweeter and denser than other types of pumpkins.
  • Roast the pumpkin yourself: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast a pumpkin, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
  • Use a food processor to puree the pumpkin: This will give you a smooth and consistent puree. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender or a potato masher.
  • Add spices to taste: Pumpkin cookies are traditionally flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add other spices, such as cloves, allspice, or cardamom.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the best pumpkin cookies that will be enjoyed by everyone.
