Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
1 ½ cups self-rising flour
1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup butter
¼ cup shortening
½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place butternut squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool, about 15 minutes. Scoop flesh into a large bowl and mash until smooth.
  • Mix flour, oats, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
  • Beat butter and shortening in a bowl until blended, about 30 seconds. Add white sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add mashed squash, egg, milk, and vanilla extract; beat thoroughly until dough is combined. Fold in flour mixture.
  • Chill dough until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Drop 1-inch scoops of dough onto the baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again with less sugar next time.
