Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cups creamy peanut butter
• 12 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cups light brown sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
4. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat until the batter is light and fluffy, between 3 to 6 minutes.
5. Add in the pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
6. Add in the flour mixture and beat on low until it is integrated, turning up the mixer and beating until just fully combined.
7. Using a cookie scoop, create 1-inch balls. Place on cookie sheet, approximately 2 inches apart. Use a fork push down one way and then turn the fork pushing down the other way making a hatch mark pattern.
8. Bake for 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. The edges of the cookies should be golden brown.
