Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Brown sugar: light or dark
- Granulated sugar
- Unsalted butter: Vegetable shortening can be used as well
- Vanilla extract
- Eggs
- Sea salt
- Baking powder and soda
- Nestle pumpkin truffles/morsels
Step by step instructions
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set two baking cookies sheets aside. Next, whisk all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
Second, with an electric hand mixer cream the butter and sugars together. Add in the eggs and vanilla and blend completely.
Third, add the flour mixture into the wet batter and mix on medium-high until just incorporated. Pour in pumpkin morsels and mix on low until combined. Chill the dough for an hour in the refrigerator.
Fourth, take ¼ to ⅓ cup of the batter and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for up to 25 minutes until ridges form around the outside of the blondie cookie and they are slightly golden in color. Cool for 10 minutes on the sheets.
Lastly, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
Tips and tricks
- Both light and dark brown sugar can be used, just know with dark brown sugar you will get a more sweet flavor!
- Vegetable shortening may be substituted for the butter and some people claim that it makes the blondie cookie softer and with a different texture. If you choose to use vegetable shortening in my recipe use ⅔ cup.
- Chilling the dough before baking is a crucial step as it allows for the fat content in the butter to remain chilled. So once baked the cookies will not spread out as much.
- Multiple add-ins can be used for this batter such chocolate, butterscotch, vanilla and peanut butter chips.
