PUMPKIN PIE PINWHEEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Sift flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt together twice. Cream butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Combine egg, vanilla and almond extract and add to creamed mixture. Mix on medium speed until combined. Add sifted ingredients and mix only until combined; dough should be stiff.
• Roll dough out between 2 sheets of parchment paper to a 12 by 9-inch rectangle, using 1 long sheet of parchment paper that is folded in half. Make sure that you roll out the dough evenly. Cut the edges off neatly with a bench scraper to even them. Place dough in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Mix together the canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 cup brown sugar for filling.
• Remove dough from freezer and peel back the top parchment paper. Thinly spread the pumpkin filling evenly over the dough. Don't spread too thickly; you should still be able to see the dough through the pumpkin slightly. If you don't use all of the filling, it is okay.
• Starting at 1 end, roll up the ends in the same manner as a cake roll. Make sure that you keep it tight and even. If the dough cracks slightly, simply rub it together with your fingers. Wrap the roll in the parchment paper, seam side down, and place back in the freezer until firm, about 1 hour.
• Slice cookies 1/4-inch thick and place onto a cookie sheet at least 1-inch apart. Sprinkle brown sugar on the tops of the cookies and rub it in with your fingers. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until the edges are turning brown.
• Serve cookies on a platter with a small bowl of whipped cream and nutmeg so that guests can make pumpkin pie pinwheel sandwiches. This makes it taste even more like pumpkin pie!

BEST PUMPKIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Have ready some ungreased baking sheets.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and the sugars together until light and fluffy.
• Blend in pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract.
• In separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
• Mix flour mixture into butter-sugar mixture.
• Drop tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges.
• Remove warm cookies and transfer to racks.
• Let cool completely for a least one half hour, then frost with glaze.
• For Glaze:.
• In a medium saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly. Cook, stirring constantly, for one minute or until slightly thickened. Beat in the milk. Blend in confectioner's sugar until the glaze is smooth and spreadable. Using a silicone basting brush, which I love and use religiously now, or a butter knife to spread glaze on cookies is the best tip. Please note; this glaze will harden fairly quickly. I suggest that you keep the saucepan over the stove on the lowest heat possible to prevent it from hardening.

PUMPKIN PIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Mix pumpkin, shortening, and vanilla extract together thoroughly in a bowl. Stir flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and baking powder into the cookie dough.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of cookie dough 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 14 minutes.

PUMPKIN PIE COOKIES

Steps:

• For the pumpkin pie filling: Heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the pumpkin, heavy cream, sour cream, egg, vanilla, sugar, bourbon, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, salt and allspice. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until just set, 10 to 12 minutes. The filling will be baked again inside the cookies, so be sure not to overbake here.
• Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, then wrap and refrigerate overnight. The filling needs to be cold before using.
• For the dough: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and salt until blended. Add the butter and mix on low speed until small pieces of butter are visible. Combine the cold apple juice with the vinegar and add to the flour mixture. Mix on medium speed until moist crumbles of dough form.
• Scrape the dough onto a work surface and knead 6 to 8 times until the dough comes together.
• Cut the dough into two equal pieces (weigh the dough if you have a scale), and shape each half into a rectangle. Don't overwork the dough.
• Work with one piece of dough at a time, keeping the second piece wrapped in plastic at room temperature.
• Roll out one piece of dough between two pieces of parchment into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle that's 1/8-inch thick, stopping occasionally to peel away the paper, dust lightly with flour, and flip over. Keep the rectangle neat-this will help with the cookie count. Chill the first sheet of dough, still sandwiched by the parchment. Repeat with the second sheet. Chill both for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Remove one sheet of dough from the refrigerator at a time. Peel off the top piece of parchment and trim the dough to 10-by-14 inches. (Use a ruler and a pizza cutter to trim the dough.) Cut the dough into 2-by-2-inch pieces, yielding 35 pieces. Return the cut dough to the fridge and repeat with the second sheet of dough. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Assemble the cookies and bake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two sheet pans with parchment. With a spatula, carefully lift the cut dough, piece by piece, onto the lined pans, 2 inches apart. Once the bottom 20 pieces are on the pans, the "pies" are ready to be assembled.
• Remove the pumpkin filling from the refrigerator and spoon it into the piping bag.
• Brush the edges of the dough pieces with the egg wash. Pipe a mound of filling in the center of each pie, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the dough. Carefully arrange another piece of dough over the filling, lining up the edges. Using your fingertips, lightly press around the filing, removing any air pockets as you press. Using the tines of a fork, lightly press the edges of each pie to seal.
• Brush the entire top of each pie with more of the egg wash, carefully avoiding excess wash. Chill the pies until firm, about 30 minutes.
• For the topping: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
• Remove the pies from the fridge and sprinkle each one with the cinnamon sugar. With the tip of a small knife, prick the dough, giving each pie a small air vent.
• Bake until the dough feels baked and turns golden brown and the bottom of the pies are lightly golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pans.
• Store for up to 1 day in an airtight container at room temperature.

PUMPKIN AND PINEAPPLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
• Beat in egg, then beat in pumpkin and pineapple.
• Stir in nuts and oats.
• Sift together dry ingredients and add alternately with milk to creamed mixture.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls about 2"apart onto a greased baking sheet.
• Bake in a 350-f oven for 8-10 minutes.
• Place cookies on a rack to cool.

PUMPKIN PIE THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined. Add the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until the dough comes together.
• Mix the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (each ball should be a heaping tablespoon; you should have about 18 balls), then roll in the spiced sugar mixture. Divide the dough balls between 2 baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to indent the centers of each dough ball, pinching together any large cracks that form (a few small cracks are fine). Refrigerate until firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Bake until the cookies just begin to warm through, about 6 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and use the handle of a wooden spoon to indent the centers just a little more. Return them to the oven, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back, and bake until the cookies are set and slightly browned on the bottom, an additional 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• For the pecan crumble: Meanwhile, microwave the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the pecans, brown sugar, oats and pumpkin pie spice. Microwave until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Let cool in the bowl until the crumble is crunchy, about 30 minutes.
• For the pumpkin pie filling: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, pumpkin puree, cream cheese, vanilla extract and fine salt in a small bowl until smooth.
• Assemble the cookies: Once the cookies are cool, spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons of filling into the center of each cookie and smooth the top if needed. Sprinkle the crumble on top of the filling. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
