These pumpkin and chocolate cookies have been the discoverer of this pumpkin season.
Every year I try to bring you a prescription with pumpkin different from what we're used to seeing and these cookies I think have made it.
The first difference with other cookie recipes is that they carry a homemade pumpkin butter that will transform your breakfasts and snacks from autumn from now on. A roasted pumpkin cream with very autumn spices and a rich sweet taste.
It goes well with toast, pancakes, ice cream, and is a great base for making a mousse, cheesecakes, biscuits or these rich cookies. It is very simple to prepare and is stored very well for days in the fridge.
The second novelty is that these cookies are made with toasted butter. This is that the butter is melted and roasted in a scoop so that it releases all its aromas. If you have never tried making biscuits or biscuits with toasted butter I promise you that you will become addicted to it, because the simple fact of heating it and letting it turn the butter into a mixture of incredible flavors and aromas.
Finally, we pass the cookies before baking them for a mixture of ground brown sugar and cinnamon that give it an incredible texture and a very rich flavor.
It sums up a few different cookies with a delicious taste and a perfect texture. Have I convinced you? Well, let's go get 'en' for them.
Ingredients
For pumpkin butter
- 250g very soft roasted pumpkin
- 70g brown cane sugar
- 40ml maple syrup
- 100 ml organic apple juice (sugar-free natural apple)
- the juice of 1 lemon
- half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- a pinch of clove powder
- a pinch of ginger powder
- a pinch of nutmeg
- a pinch of salt
For cookies
- 250g butter with salt, at room temperature
- 230g brown sugar
- 90g pumpkin butter (recipe above)
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 300g scallp flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 250g sparks or pieces of dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar – 2 tablespoons brown sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
For the pumpkin butter put all the ingredients well mixed in a scoop and let it cook for 10 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and we have a texture similar to the jam. If pumpkin lumps remain, we can use a hand mixer to undo it and leave a smooth texture. Reserve.
To make the cookies, put half the butter in a small scoop over medium heat, cooking until the butter starts to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a heat-resistant container. Put in the freezer to cool, 10-15 minutes, but no more.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Put baking paper on a baking sheet
In a large bowl, mix the two butters with the brown sugar until combined. Beat pumpkin butter, egg and vanilla, beating until creamy. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Chop the chocolate and add it to the dough. Mix well.
We make balls with the dough and then generously pass them through sugar and cinnamon and put them on the prepared baking sheet.
We baked 8 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and tap it lightly on the counter to flatten them. Return them to the oven for a further 6-7 minutes and allow to cool completely on a rack.

What a pintaza! Looking forward to Saturday to make them. Just one thing, syrup can be replaced by honey? Thank you very much and congratulations for the page you can not have more beautiful photos.
Of course it's a fantastic sweetener. Thanks for writing. I'll kiss you.
I'm fascinated by cookies, but I've never seen some with shoe (that's what we call pumpkin in Chile) I'll definitely make this recipe ;)
Well, you'll tell me Irene because they're total luxury, you'll see
Hello! They look amazing! I was wondering one thing: what texture do they have? I've seen that pumpkin biscuits always have a more bun-like texture, soft and fluffy, than cookie durita.
HI Maria,
No juicy cookies, but they don't have the bolo or sponge cake text. They're like cookies and they're super rich, try them and you'll tell me! A hug and thank you for writing
