Tips & Tricks
- Be sure to use canned pumpkin, not fresh (better consistency with canned), and not pumpkin pie filling (has added sweeteners and spices).
- When adding the flour, don’t over-mix or your cookies could bake up flatter.
- Using parchment paper on your baking sheets instead of cooking spray or grease will stop the cookies from spreading out too much while baking.
- Don’t substitute olive oil in this recipe as it will affect the taste of the cookies.
