Ingredients for Pumpkin Cookies
- 1 egg
- 150 g pumpkin (cleaned)
- 40 g vegetable oil
- 80 g sugar
- 240 g flour
- 1/2 packet baking powder (8 grams)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- as needed powdered sugar
How to prepare Pumpkin Cookies
Clean the pumpkin by removing the peel, seeds, and internal filaments. Cut it into small cubes.
Transfer the pumpkin to a blender. Add the vegetable oil and blend to obtain a delicious orange cream.
Beat the egg with the sugar in a bowl simply with a hand whisk or fork. Add the pumpkin cream and mix.
Add the ground cinnamon, sifted flour, and baking powder. First, mix with the whisk, and when the dough becomes too dense, mix with a spatula.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using 2 tablespoons, place small mounds of dough slightly spaced apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
Bake the Soft Pumpkin Cookies in the preheated oven at 340°F in static mode for 16-18 minutes. Let them cool and sprinkle them as desired with some powdered sugar.

Loredana’s Tips
The Cookies stay soft in a container for 2-3 days
If you prefer, you can replace the cinnamon with the grated zest of half an untreated lemon or orange
You can replace the vegetable oil with 40 grams of melted butter
