Pumpkin Shortbread Cookies

Servings:

This is a spicy pumpkin shortbread cookie recipe. The added pumpkin makes them slightly softer than your average shortbread, but they've got a pleasant texture nonetheless. Make these ahead of time--they taste better the next day. Store in an airtight container.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl until combined.
  2. 2 Beat butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in pumpkin and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until completely incorporated. Mix in ½ flour mixture until just combined. Add remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  3. 3 Cover and chill in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. 5 Roll dough to ¼ inch thickness on a lightly floured surface: cut into 1x2-inch rectangles using a pizza cutter or pastry wheel. Poke 3 holes into each cookie using the back of a bamboo skewer. Place cookies ½ inch apart on the prepared baking sheets: sprinkle with white sugar.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
