PUMPKIN SPICE CUTOUTS



Pumpkin Spice Cutouts image

Through all the years I've been baking, I've never come across a pumpkin cookie recipe that you can actually cut out with cookie cutters. (Most I've found are drop cookies.) Each bite tastes just like pumpkin pie-delicious! -Marion Kearley, Ladner, British Columbia

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Desserts

Time 30m

Yield about 3 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin pie mix
1/4 cup molasses
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
3 to 4 tablespoons 2% milk
Food coloring, optional

Steps:

  • Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in pumpkin pie mix and molasses. In another bowl, whisk next 6 ingredients; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap. Refrigerate several hours, until firm enough to roll., Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake until edges are firm, 8-10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely., For icing, beat confectioners' sugar, butter and enough milk to reach spreading consistency. If desired, tint with food coloring. Decorate cookies as desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: This will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but make sure it is unsweetened.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home with a cup of coffee or tea. With their warm spices and pumpkin flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
