Pumpkin Seed Cookies

These Pumpkin Seed Cookies are like a cross between a cookie and a bread. They're super soft and moist and have a delicious spice aroma from the cinnamon and nutmeg that makes them perfect for this time of year.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup all purpose flour
  • 1 Cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 Cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 Cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 Cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 Cup Pumpkin Seeds, raw plus more for decorating (you could also use chopped walnuts)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine the first 7 dry ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
  3. In a mixer (or in a bowl using a hand beater) cream the butter for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy then add honey and continue to beat for another minute.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for 1 minute then add in pumpkin puree and mix until combined.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and slowly fold in pumpkin seeds.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop about 1 1/2 tbsp of the dough onto a Silpat or parchment-lined cookie sheet and using your finger or the back of a spoon, gently pat down to flatten the tops of the cookies slightly.
  7. Use the extra pumpkin seeds to decorate the tops of the cookies (your little one can help you with this step!)
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
  9. Cool and serve.

Notes

  • * The cookies should have a fluffy consistency.
  • ** To Freeze: After step 6, freeze for 30 minutes then place par-frozen cookies in a Ziploc bag, label and freeze for up to 4 months. When ready, pop them on a Silpat or parchment-lined cookie sheet, bring to room temperature, pat them down a bit so they flatten slightly, and follow steps 8-9.
