Description
Delightful cookies combining rich pumpkin flavors and sweet Nutella, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 tbsp Nutella
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (reduced to about 1/3 cup after blotting)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided (1/4 cup for dough, 1/2 cup for rolling)
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Scoop out 14 portions of Nutella onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, at least 1 hour.
- Spread pumpkin puree on a large plate and blot with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, kosher salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and creamy.
- Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin puree; beat until just combined.
- Mix in baking powder and baking soda; beat until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the flour until no streaks remain. Cover and freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove dough and Nutella coins from the freezer. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it, place a Nutella coin on top, then seal with another tablespoon of dough.
- Roll in granulated sugar and place on baking sheets, spacing apart.
- Bake for about 14 minutes, rotating halfway through. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, storing leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
For best results, ensure butter is softened and consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
