Cake Like Pumpkin Cookies Recipe

I really enjoy the flavor of pumpkin! Often times I make pumpkin bread and my boys LOVE it. This weekend I decided to try something new with my homemade pumpkin puree; I made pumpkin cookies! These cookies are cake like. They are soft and puffy. My family and the neighbor girls really enjoyed this pumpkin treat!

For my homemade pumpkin puree, I used the Good Cook Pumpkin Scoop. This scoop is a lifesaver and I wish I had this years ago! It really makes scooping out the pumpkin “guts” so easy.

I love how the pumpkin knife stores right in the handle of the scoop.

This is really genius! The Good Cook Pumpkin Scoop is available at Walmart and you can find Good Cook Bakeware online.

I made some larger cookies- about 2 tablespoons of dough- as well as some smaller cookies. The big cookies were immediately scooped up by the kids!
