Has Anyone Made Pumpkin Cookies with a Cookie Press?

[alidafrizzell]

Just wondering if anyone has ever created a "pumpkin" flavored cookie recipe for the Cookie Press?

hmmm...that sounds great, now i'm wondering too!

Try the weight watcher cake recipe in it. When it is mixed up it is soooo thick almost like a cookie batter. 1 can of 100% Pumpkin mix with 1 box cake mix (I use chocolate, but you can try Spice flavor also).

I wonder if possibly you could try the peanut butter recipe and switch out pumpkin? 1 cup pumpkin, 1 cup sugar and 1 egg?

Good Ideas! I am going to "play around" with ideas later today! I think it would be a great "sample" to take to a booth or show... Little Pumpkin flavored pumpkins!

Would love to hear how it turns out.

What size can of pumpkin pie mix?

I tried the weight watcher recipe last night...didn't work. just made a big mess to clean up I tried adding some four and chilling the dough (more like batter) but I just couldn't make it work. I used a large can of pumpkin.

I found this recipe on line. I have not had a chance to try it yet. In the US, you could probably substitute your cinnamon plus spice. Still searching for a shortcut version.

Pumpkin Spritz Cookies Recipe
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
additional ground nutmeg



Pre-heat your oven to 400 F.


In a large mixing bowl beat the butter until creamy. Beat in the sugar and spices until well combined.


Mix in the pumpkin, egg and vanilla until well combined.


In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well combined.


Place the dough into a cookie press and press out shapes onto an ungreased half sheet pan (for best cookie baking results use a half sheet pan, not a non-stick cookie sheet).


Lightly sprinkle the cookies with additional nutmeg.


Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until set but not browned. Allow the cookies to cool 2 minutes on half sheet pan and then remove them to wire racks to cool completely.

If it's anything of a batter consistancy, it will not work in the press.

OK... Getting frustrated here! I can tell you what does not work is one spice cake mix... one can of pumpkin and lots of flour! But it does make pretty tasty dough!

But don't try to eat the cookie! Nasty! Think I will start over... but not till after the show! See ya there!:balloon:
