Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin puree. If you don't have time to make your own pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape better. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them spread and get crispy edges.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. If you frost the cookies while they are still warm, the frosting will melt and run off the cookies.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin Nut Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from Halloween to Christmas. With their festive flavors and colors, Pumpkin Nut Cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
