Raise your hand if you like cookies...now raise your hand if you like pumpkin pie.
Ok, now that we have confirmed that everyone on Earth likes both of these things, lets put them together!
Not only do these cookies taste just like pumpkin pie but they are soft baked, which are the best kind of cookies. I never have understood people who like "crispy" cookies. I think I was the only child on this planet that thought that the cereal Cookie Crisps sounded gross because they seemed like they would be hard as rocks.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of butter, softened
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cups of firmly packed brown sugar
1 (15 oz.) can of pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice
1/4 teaspoon of salt
*Makes 36 cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy.
Blend in pumpkin, egg, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until thoroughly blended.
Drop by rounded tablespoons, about 3 inches apart, onto an ungreased baking sheet or stone.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges start to brown and they are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let sit on the pan for five minutes at the most.
Remove from pan, and place onto a cooling rack.
It's as easy as that!!!
A cream cheese frosting could be a good addition to these cookies, but I like them just the way they are!
