I definitely do! I am creating and sharing delicious pumpkin recipes and I am going to continue to do so for a while, hope you will enjoy it and hope you enjoy my new recipe for pumpkin cut out cookies!

It has been a while since I posted a cookie recipe so I thought it is time to change it. I made this pumpkin cut out cookies many times in the past and people loved it. Why? These cookies are just simple, easy to eat and are bursting with pumpkin flavour. Nu fuss, heavy and messy fillings – just simplicity this time.

How to make pumpkin cut out cookies

Easy-peasy. Dry ingredients into a medium bowl and mix. Then add butter and pumpkin puree and mix all the ingredients until dough forms. Then flatten the dough, wrap it in a cling film and leave it in a fridge for at least 2 hours. When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 170C fan/ 338F. Roll cookie dough and cut out cookies using a cookie cutter of your choice. bake for about 10-12 until crispy of edges.

I have dipped these cookies in white chocolate and sprinkled some glitter, but of course this is optional. In my house this is not an option as I live with a white chocolate dictator. Whenever there is a a way to add white chocolate on a cookie, I have to do it. In fact white chocolate and caramel – but this is another story.

TIPS:

• If you are using homemade pumpkin puree, make sure you drain it well before adding to the mix. If your pumpkin puree is quite wet, drain it or cook it on a dry pan until water evaporates. You can of course use store-bought puree as well (unsweetened). If you use it wet puree you will have to add more flour.
• I have added a whole tablespoon of my homemade pumpkin pie spice but feel free to add less. My taste testers said that they enjoyed the vibrant flavour from the spices.
• If you are using a very small cookie cutter, I would limit baking time to 8-9 minutes.
• The texture of these cookies is quite crispy and reminds me of a biscuit.
• You can prepare cookie dough in advance and store it in a fridge for up to two days.
