Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 cup chocolate candies (MM)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, sugar, and pumpkin spice. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or whisk until the ingredients are completely blended and smooth.
- Gently fold in half of the chocolate MM candies into the cookie dough, reserving the remaining candies for topping.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press the remaining MM candies on top of each cookie dough ball, ensuring they are slightly embedded in the surface.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies appear set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to set and develop their final texture.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your pumpkin puree is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the cookies.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistent cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - blend just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting your MM candies briefly before adding them to the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to maintain their perfect texture.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle some additional pumpkin pie spice on top of the cookies after baking.
- If the dough seems too soft, chill it for 15-20 minutes before scooping and baking.
