Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
In a large bowl, combine sugar and brown sugar. Beat in Land o’ Lakes Butter until fluffy.
-
Add pumpkin, vanilla, and the egg to the mixture. Blend well.
-
In the same bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and all spices. Mix well.
-
If you’ve opted for nuts, now is the time to add them. Stir the mixture.
-
For those who prefer bite-sized cookies, drop rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
-
For larger cookies enthusiasts, drop hefty tablespoonfuls about 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 11-13 minutes.
-
Pro Tip: Always use cookie sheets with no lips or edges. Wilton’s is an excellent choice. If possible, use insulated sheets or Silverstone baking liners.
-
Allow sheets to cool to room temperature before starting the second batch. If in a hurry, use the freezer to cool sheets faster or alternate between two sheets.
-
The cookies may not look done initially, but as they sit, they solidify. They have a wonderfully cakey texture.
-
As an added treat, whip up some cream cheese frosting as a dip. Alternatively, for a messier but equally delightful option, squeeze a couple of lines of frosting over the finished cookies.
