Not only during fall, these Chewy Pumpkin Cookies are great any time of year! But I must admit they are perfect with a hot cup of cocoa or chai when you’re cozied up inside.
By now my friends all know that I’m never satisfied with everyday tastes. So instead of a classic chocolate chip cookie I decided to try something a little different and added pumpkin instead – and it worked! Soft, sweet and delicious, and they smell amazing when they’re baking.
To make Chewy Pumpkin Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease two baking sheets.
Mix the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and butter together. Then add the pumpkin, vanilla extract and egg, and mix together until smooth. Add the flour a little at a time, folding it into the mixture.
Take a rounded tablespoon of the mixture and drop it onto one of the baking sheets. Repeat until you have used up all of the dough.
The cookies should take 15 to 18 minutes to cook - make sure the edges have become firm before removing them from the oven. Leave for a couple of minutes to cool on the trays before moving to wire racks.
Whisk the ingredients for the glaze together in a bowl until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cookies once they have cooled.
That’s my very easy version of these Soft Pumpkin Cookies but feel free to experiment with your own! Why not add some chocolate buttons or marshmallows for extra gooiness or some sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a more savory twist? Don’t forget to snap your creations and share them with me!
