Delicious pumpkin cookies in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pumpkin cookies? Prepare the necessary products. We will need baked pumpkin pulp. During the baking process, the weight of the pumpkin will decrease by about a quarter, so take the weight of the raw pumpkin with a reserve. Take the butter out in advance so that it softens at room temperature. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the pumpkin and cut into pieces. Wrap the pumpkin in foil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Bake the pumpkin in a preheated oven at 180C for about 30 minutes until soft.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cool the pumpkin and grind it to a puree. You can do this using a blender or simply mash with a masher. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix flour with baking powder and sift into a wide bowl. Why sift flour? To enrich the flour with oxygen. This will increase the rise of the dough during baking and the cookies will bake well.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grind soft butter with sugar and vanilla sugar. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanillin. Read how to do this correctly in a separate article at the link after the recipe.

7. STEP 7

   

   Beat the egg into the resulting mixture and mix until smooth.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add coconut flakes, stir. The amount of coconut flakes can be adjusted to your taste or eliminated altogether. You can also add other spices to your taste.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add pumpkin puree to the resulting mixture and mix well.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add flour sifted with baking powder. I advise you not to add all the flour at once. Why do you need to do this? So that the dough does not turn out too dense and steep. This dough will not rise well and the cookies will be hard. It is better to add the remaining flour while kneading the dough as needed. You can read more about flour and its properties in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

11. STEP 11

    

    The dough should be soft and not sticky to your hands.

12. STEP 12

    

    Roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment, pressing down each ball a little on top. You can choose the right parchment paper by reading a separate article about the features of parchment, the link is at the end of the recipe.

13. STEP 13

    

    Bake pumpkin cookies in an oven preheated to 180C for about 25 minutes until lightly browned. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cool the finished cookies completely and serve. Bon appetit!

Today, the sight of a pumpkin got me into a summer mood! And the baked goods made from it are sunny and delicious. Delicious pumpkin cookies made from pumpkin in the oven are an orange miracle, simply created for pleasure! I used whole grain flour, it slightly changed the color of the dough, but it was healthier. The cookies turned out crispy on top and soft inside. I drank coffee with them and was simply blown away!

I'm actually not a pumpkin fan. And the children, looking at me, don’t really like her. But the product is useful! Therefore, sometimes I look for some recipe where the pumpkin is “disguised” and am glad that we are eating it, which is healthy. Well, of course, I couldn’t pass up the recipe for these pumpkin cookies. I just prepared a lean version of this cookie - I replaced the butter with vegetable oil, and the egg with chia seeds (one tablespoon of seeds crushed in a coffee grinder, poured with four tablespoons of water and left for 5 minutes). I combined all the ingredients together and mixed well, and then added flour and baking powder. I ended up with a dough that had an unusual consistency - it seemed too soft, but at the same time it didn’t spread. The cookies could be formed with wet hands, but I simply scooped the mixture onto a baking sheet using a spoon. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The result surprised and pleased. Probably, with my substitution of products, the cookies turned out to be completely different from those in the author’s recipe. But I really liked it, so I decided to share my photo report. First of all, there is very little pumpkin flavor in the cookies. Secondly, although it is lean, it is very tasty. I completely trust the author, I will definitely bake pumpkin cookies with eggs and butter, as in the recipe. But, most likely, I will not add coconut flakes and vanilla sugar, but some spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. But I will also prepare a lean version, only next time with some filling, for example, cherries or walnuts. Thanks to the author for the good recipe and inspiration!

Julia, good afternoon! I want to bake cookies like these! We love pumpkin baked goods. Please tell me, can I use boiled pumpkin puree, or do I need to bake the pumpkin in the oven to make the puree? Thank you!!!
