PUMPKIN SPICE SOFT SUGAR COOKIES



Pumpkin Spice Soft Sugar Cookies image

If a homemade pumpkin pie and a soft sugar cookie had little cookies of their own, well, let these speak for themselves. Add your favorite seasoned nuts if you wish. I happened to have had some caramelized sugar I had previously made and I crushed this up and added to the top of some of the cookies just before baking.

8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Pumpkin spice: Whisk together spices OR use premade spice mix.
  • Cookies: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, molasses, and salt. Whisk together.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
  • To make the cookies even softer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, which will make the cookies lighter and more tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice soft sugar cookies are a delicious and festive fall treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home with your family. With their soft and chewy texture and warm pumpkin spice flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and seasonal treat, give these pumpkin spice soft sugar cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
