I want to make sugar cookies for halloween. I have a recipe (thank you Muffy!) but Ethan wants them to be pumpkin flavored.
Does anyone have a pumpkin cookie recipe that works with cookie cutters? Otherwise I'm debating just adding some pumpkin puree to Muffy's recipe and hoping it doesn't screw them up too much. I'll probably have to reduce the butter to compensate.
I'm wondering if instead of adding the pumpkin you could add pumpkin spice (cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg) to it. Maybe the flavor association would work just as well.
I really don't think pumpkin has a taste really, possibly since it's always masked by the spices - though I'm all in favor of adding the pumkin cause it would make me feel like I was having something healthy
All the pumpkin cookies I saw seemed to be dollopy (is that a word?) instead of cut-out ones.
