Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
Instructions:
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (177Β°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. |
| 2 | Boil Sugar Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. |
| 3 | Add Pumpkin Puree: Once the mixture is boiling and the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from heat. Whisk in the pumpkin puree until fully combined. |
| 4 | Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and ground ginger to the mixture, stirring until you have a smooth, silky batter. |
| 5 | Form Cookies: Using a scant tablespoon, drop small portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave about 3 inches of space between each cookie, as they will spread during baking. You can bake up to 6 cookies at a time on one sheet. |
| 6 | Bake: Place the baking sheet in the center of the preheated oven. Bake the cookies until they are slightly darkened around the edges, approximately 10 minutes. |
| 7 | Cool: Once baked, let the cookies stand on the pan for about 2 minutes to firm up slightly. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. |
Serving Suggestions:
These Pumpkin Lace Cookies are best enjoyed with a piping hot cup of spiced chai tea or a rich, velvety pumpkin latte. The delicate lace-like pattern and the warm, comforting flavors make them an ideal treat for autumn gatherings, Halloween parties, or simply as a sweet indulgence on a cozy evening in. Serve them on a decorative platter for an added touch of elegance.
Storage Tips:
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay crisp and delicious for up to a week, though they are so scrumptious, they might not last that long! If you want to make them ahead of time, you can freeze the baked cookies for up to a month. Simply thaw them at room temperature before serving.
Tips & Tricks:
- Make Them Even Crispier: For extra crispy cookies, bake them for a few extra minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Pumpkin Spice Variation: Amp up the autumn flavor by adding a dash of pumpkin pie spice to the batter.
- Gift Idea: Package these cookies in a beautiful tin or box, tied with a ribbon, for a lovely homemade gift during the holiday season.
From the inviting aroma that fills your kitchen as they bake to the delicate crunch with every bite, these Pumpkin Lace Cookies are sure to become a seasonal favorite in your home. Enjoy the magic of fall with this simple yet elegant treat! ππ
