After that first taste of the best ginger snap cookies ever, these cookies have made an appearance, or several, over the holidays here at my house. And this year, I added some pumpkin puree because, well, it’s October and I’m all about pumpkin right now. Pumpkin in my mac and cheese, in my doughnuts, in my waffles, on my savory tarts and more.
It’s also the time to remind you about a fabulous organization called Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer was founded by two OXOnians (OXO employees) who were inspired by their son Liam’s battle with pediatric cancer, a disease which claims the lives of more children in the United States than any other disease. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer provides inspiration and support to allow anyone to easily get involved in fundraising to find a cure for pediatric cancer.
In the month of October, OXO will be donating $100 to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer for each blog post dedicated to this campaign (up to $100,000*).
So, today, I am sharing these delicious, perfectly chewy Pumpkin Molasses Cookies. Filled with cinnamon, ginger, pumpkin, molasses and everything good, these cookies are seriously incredible. You guys have to try these cookies! I will be baking these for the next three months for sure.
Pumpkin Molasses Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup shortening or room temp unsalted butter
- 1 cup white granulated sugar + more sugar for rolling
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup full flavor molasses
- 1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree; pure pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Using your stand mixer fitted with the flat beater attachment or your electric hand mixer, cream together the shortening (or butter if you are using butter) and sugar. Add the egg, molasses and pumpkin. Mix together.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking soda and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet molasses mixture. Mix until combined.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out tablespoon sized cookie dough balls. Dip and roll in sugar and then place on baking sheet. Press down each cookie dough ball slightly using a glass or cup and bake for about 12 to 14 minutes, rotating your baking sheet after 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
