PUMPKIN DROP COOKIES



Pumpkin Drop Cookies image

These tender, spiced pumpkin cookies with browned butter icing were adapted from Pat Young, the winner of the best pumpkin recipe at the 83rd Pumpkin Show in Circleville, Ohio, in 1989. They're almost cakelike in texture, and we think they taste best with a tall glass of milk.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 c pumpkin, canned or cooked
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c butter, softened
1 c brown sugar
1 egg

Steps:

  • 1. Mix ingredients together well and drop onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • 2. Bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
  • 3. When cooled, spread on cream cheese frosting lightly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your cookies the best flavor and texture. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can buy it canned.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them rise and get a golden brown color.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow them to set and develop their full flavor.
