Instructions

These cookies don't have too much sugar, but by rolling them in the powdered sugar or simply sprinkling them with it, they will taste just right. They are soft, fluffy with healthy nuts. The nuts can be chopped finely or coarsely, it's really a personal choice. Trust me; these cookies are a must make!

  1. Preheat oven to 350 ยฐF.

  2. In a bowl, cream together the butter, oil, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, salt and pumpkin spice.

  3.  Add in the egg and mix well.
  4. Toss in the nuts.
  5. Sift in the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix to combine. The batter should be very soft.
  6.  Scoop the dough (using an ice cream scoop) into 1 inch balls, directly to a baking sheet, covered with parchment paper.
  7. Adjust the shape of the scooped dough with your fingers.
  8.  Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  10.  Sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar(You can roll them in powdered sugar if you like).
  11.  Enjoy!
