It is a little ironic that we took our road trip to Holmes County, OH and I saw all of the jams, jellies, preserves, butters, etc everywhere we went and then we get back home and I see this recipe for cookies made with pumpkin butter. Of course, I didn't buy any on the trip.
I looked up pumpkin butter and saw what looked like a good recipe to try to make my own, but then I also saw that I could buy it for a decent price at a local store. Since my time was short, I decided to take the easy road and just went to the store and bought a jar.
The recipe went together so easily and I could have probably gotten away with not using my mixer, but I did.
I added a note at the end of the recipe, that I thought if you wanted a crispy cookie, you could probably just cook them an extra minute or two. I said that because the cookie puffed up while baking but then flattened while it cooled the two minutes on the cookie sheet. I remember once I was making a recipe for soft gingersnaps and the recipe said if you wanted a crispy gingersnap which so many people do, just cook it a couple of more minutes.
I did hear one lady at church yesterday as they took a bite out of the cookie say, "Oh, they are so nice and soft."
The recipe made 5 dozen 1 tablespoon-size cookies. I made them on Saturday and stored them in an airtight container with wax paper between the layers and they were still nice and soft yesterday when I served them.
PUMPKIN BUTTER COOKIES
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup pumpkin butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Separate layers of cookies with wax paper for storing.
Personal note: This makes a soft cookie. If you wanted a crispy cookie, bake another minute or two. Still allow to cool 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before you remove. Since I haven't actually tried this, you might want to bake just one cookie before you try a whole cookie sheet, but I think it will work.
