Servings:24 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
- 3 cups flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 large bag chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Cream together butter and sugars. Add vanilla and egg and mix well. Add puree and mix again.
- In a separate bowl whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until dough comes together.
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on baking sheet. Gently smash down each ball, just to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes until golden brown and cookies look "dry".
- Immediately after removing from the oven, use the end of a wooden spoon (or similar object) to gently press a hole halfway into the cookie (not all the way through). Allow to cool completely.
