Chewy Pumpkin Cookies

Soft and chewy pumpkin cookies infused with warm spices and the perfect fall flavors. They stay chewy thanks to the dried pumpkin puree, making them a delicious autumn treat!

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter

2/3 cup pumpkin puree (well-drained)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup + 2 tbsp dark brown sugar

2 large egg yolks

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 2/3 cup + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

1 tsp ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Brown the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once browned, chill in the fridge for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.

Drain excess moisture from the pumpkin puree using paper towels until it has a dry, playdough-like texture.

Once the butter has cooled, whisk it with the sugars for 1 minute. Add the egg yolks, vanilla, and dried pumpkin puree.

Fold in the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Refrigerate the dough for 5-10 minutes if needed.

Roll the dough into balls, coat with cinnamon sugar, and place on the baking sheet 2-3 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, allowing the cookies to set while cooling.
