These are the perfect autumn treat. I used to not like pumpkin spiced treats but I realised I had just been unlucky in what I had tried! When I found out that puree fruit can makes up for a lack of egg in many bakes, I started playing around with pumpkin puree. With the correct spice blend pumpkin flavoured goodies taste amazing. These cookies are soft, chewy, and filled with flavour.
Equipment:
Check out my blog post for the best dairy free butters
Preheat oven to 190 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl cream the butter and brown sugar together with an whisk until light and fluffy.
Sieve together the flour, spices, bicarbonate soda, baking powder and salt into the mixing bowl
Add in the pumpkin purée and vanilla. Mix together until combined into a dough
In a separate bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon to make your coating
Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons worth of the dough and roll them into balls. Drop them into the coating mixture and toss to cover the balls of dough
Place them onto the baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart from each other and flatten slightly using a fork.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are browned and the middle looks risen with a few cracks.
Leave the cookies to the cool, then enjoy
