Ingredients
- 3/4 pound unsalted butter (3 sticks), softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In the large bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar at medium high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add the pumpkin puree, allspice, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt and mix at medium speed until combined. Add the flour, a little at a time, mixing at medium low speed until a smooth thick dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured smooth working surface and roll out the dough until it is about 1/4-inch thick.
- Use a circular cookie cutter about 2 inches in diameter to cut out the cookie shapes and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake them at 350 for 25 minutes, or until very light golden around the edges.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on pan before removing with a spatula. The shortbread cookies can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
