Capture Your Pumpkin

My entry for the "Capture Your Pumpkin" contest here on dA: [link]

I made some delicious sugar cookies with a pumpkin twist! They turned out absolutely delicious! Pictured above are the cookies on the right, served with pumpkin hot cocoa and cinnamon pumpkin whipped cream. It's a pumpkin trifecta!

Pumpkin Sugar Cookies:

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C)
-Mix 3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1.2 tsp cinnamon, and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder in a large bowl
-Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened and room temperature
-Mix in 2 large, slightly beaten eggs, 3 tsp vanilla extract, 3 Tbsp half&half, 3 Tbsp pumpkin puree
-Chill for 15 minutes, then rolls into equal sized balls, place on plate in fridge for additional 15 minutes
-Coat in granulated sugar and flatten with bottom of a cup
-Bake for 7-8 minutes

Pumpkin Whipped Cream:
-Pour 1 cup heavy whipping cream into a small bowl with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon
-Whip until stiff peaks form
-Add 3 Tbsp pumpkin puree and mix until combined

If anyone tries it out, let me know how you like it! :)

Well typically you buy pumpkin puree in a can for pumpkin pie. But you can also bake the pumpkin and then use a blender to puree it.

Ah! You can't get that here (I did wonder if it was a standard ingredient in some other country). Thanks for the tip - now I know to bake the pumpkin first if I tried making some :giggle:

I did some research for my Pumpkin Tarts! use hokkaido if you can find one! this way you can puree the pumpkin with skin. if you have any puree left, freeze it! It just stays fresh for about a day. I had a bad experience with a two day old pumpkin soup once :D

Hokkaido? I thought that was a place. Please excuse my ignorance and explain! ^^;

Sorry! It is a sort of pumpkin and its skin is edible after baking/cooking because it gets really soft :)

Like one of those small pumpkins? Or a normal-sized one with special skin? If the latter, I don't think you can get it here sadly :(

this kind of pumpkin is very popular in germany and I did some research and found it in other countries too! I'm sorry! But if you don't use hokkaido, you may just have to peel the skin off after baking :) I hope I didn't make you confused, I just tries to help :(
