Shortbread pumpkin cookies – notes
I just had some leftover pumpkin puree in the fridge when I spotted a recipe for these shortbread pumpkin cookies on Instagram.
I’ve made various pumpkin cookies before, but not shortbread ones yet, so I quickly used the recipe :)
You don’t need many ingredients to prepare them.
You just need butter (if you want to make a vegan version, use margarine), pumpkin puree, a little sugar, and a warming spice.
I used a pre-made pumpkin spice blend, but gingerbread spice or even just cinnamon would also work well here.
I added two generous tablespoons of puree to the cookies. Hokkaido pumpkin, for example, which has firm and less juicy flesh, would be best here.
After preparing, the dough needs to be chilled because it’s very soft and cannot be rolled out.
If you want to make it easier for yourselves, you can roll out the dough between two pieces of baking paper.
The portion isn’t large, but I still baked a whole tray of cookies.
I recommend these shortbread pumpkin cookies to you and look forward to your feedback on how you liked them :)

Recipe for shortbread pumpkin cookies
Prepare today with me delicious and aromatic shortbread cookies with pumpkin puree. Pumpkin added to the cookie dough gives it a beautiful orange color, and at the same time adds flavor and a slight moisture. Despite this, the cookies are wonderfully crispy and melt-in-your-mouth at the same time. You must try them, and you'll see for yourselves.

If you happen to have pumpkin puree at home and don't feel like another pumpkin cake, then such pumpkin cookies will be an excellent idea. I am convinced that everyone will like them. And what to do with the pumpkin puree that you have left after baking the cookies? For example, you can make sweet pumpkin pancakes or pumpkin crepes - both suggestions will work great for both breakfast and dinner :) I highly recommend them.
