In honor of it officially being Fall I decided to make a pumpkin themed dessert! They are so tasty and are only about 70 calories each!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 (about 1/2 can) cup pureed pumpkin (NOT the pumpkin pie filling)
2 eggs at room temp
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice (yeah I added a little more of it, even though it's made up of all the spices your putting in the cookies =p)
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts) +some for topping *optional*
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F
In large bowl cream together butter and sugar. Add in eggs and pumpkin. Sift together flour and spices, then add to pumpkin mixture. Once all ingredients are thoroughly add in pecans.
Drop loaded spoonfuls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Top with a sprinkle of pecans.
Bake 8-10 minutes.
Once finished move to wire rack and let cool completely.
