1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
1 ½ cups self-rising flour
1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup butter
¼ cup shortening
½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place butternut squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet.

  • Beat butter and shortening in a bowl until blended, about 30 seconds. Add white sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add mashed squash, egg, milk, and vanilla extract; beat thoroughly until dough is combined. Fold in flour mixture.
  • Chill dough until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Drop 1-inch scoops of dough onto the baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.

These cookies were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I was hoping for and the texture was a bit dry. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some extra spices or maybe even some chocolate chips.
