Delicious Pumpkin-Pecan Cookies image

A very good friend of mine gave me this pumpkin-pecan cookie recipe when I was searching for just the right cookie around Thanksgiving. These were by far the best I have ever tried and are simple to make. The recipe can be cut in half, because as is, it makes around 2 dozen. I would also love to know any alterations that make them any better! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Soften the butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugars. Softened butter will incorporate air more easily, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cookie.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the cookie dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. This will result in a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a temperature of 350°F (175°C). This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly and don't burn.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These butter pecan pumpkin cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for fall. They are made with a combination of pumpkin puree, butter, sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, eggs, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. The cookies are then baked until they are golden brown and chewy. These cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
