Green Giant product(s) used: Green Giant® 100% Pure Pumpkin

Lists of ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
    5 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
    2 cups brown sugar
    1 can (15 ounce) Green Giant® 100% Pure Pumpkin
    1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
    2 large eggs
    2 egg yolks

    For Rolling
    2 Tablespoons cane sugar
    1 Tablespoon brown sugar
    1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps

STEPS

1 In small saute pan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir regularly until butter turns deep golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Pour browned butter into heat- safe bowl or measuring cup and refrigerate until cooled, but not solid, about 15 minutes.
2 In large mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
3 In separate medium mixing bowl, stir browned butter and brown sugar. Whisk in pumpkin and vanilla extract followed by eggs and egg yolks.
4 Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry until evenly mixed. Refrigerate dough 30 minutes.
5 Form dough into four separate logs 2-3 inches in diameter and about 7 inches long. Wrap each cookie dough log with plastic wrap. Freeze dough 30 minutes, or until ready to bake.
6 Preheat oven to 350ºF and line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir sugars and cinnamon on large plate. Unwrap desired amount of dough (thaw slightly at room temperature if dough is completely frozen) and roll each log in sugar mixture.
7 Slice into 1/2-inch slices. Place on baking sheet 3 inches apart.
8 Bake 14-15 minutes. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
9 Cool cookies at room temperature on baking sheet 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack and cooling 10 minutes.

TIPS & TRICKS

If you prefer to bake cookies in small batches—or even one at a time—you can roll the dough into a log, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture and store in an airtight container. To enjoy warm, freshly baked cookies whenever you want them, slice off as many pieces of dough as you want to bake, roll into balls, roll in the cinnamon sugar, and then bake as directed.
