Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl beat butter until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in sugar and spices until well combined and the granules have begun to melt. Mix in pumpkin, egg and vanilla until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until well combined.
- Place into a cookie press and press out shapes onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Lightly sprinkle cookies with the spiced sprinkling sugar.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until set but not browned. Allow to cool 2 minutes on baking sheet then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree. - If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. - Be sure to chill the cookie dough for at least 2 hours before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. - Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. - Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.Conclusion:
Pumpkin spritz cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall baking. They are easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or candy. Whether you are making them for a holiday party or just to enjoy at home, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
