Pumpkin Cookies with Butterscotch Chips Recipe
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup canola or corn oil
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, coat the paper with butter, and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl, and set aside.
- Place the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Mix on on medium speed until smooth and lightened in color, about 1 minute.
- Stop the mixer and using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle.
- Turn the mixer to low speed, add the oil, pumpkin, and vanilla, and mix until evenly blended.
- Add the flour mixture, and mix until just incorporated.
- Add in the butterscotch chips and mix until evenly distributed.
- Using an ice cream scoop with a 1/4-cup capacity, scoop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies at least 2 1/2 inches apart (alternatively, you can use a 1/4-cup measuring cup).
- Using a thin metal spatula, smooth the tops of the mounds.
- Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the tops feel firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, about 16 minutes.
- Cool them on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust the cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar.
- The cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
