How to make Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cookies:

Yes I am one of those ladies you will see buying cans of it the day they arrive on the shelf in the grocery store.
Mix your wet and dry ingredients separately then mix them together. Roll or scoop them into about 1 inch balls then bake!
Ingredient Notes:
Peanut Butter
Unsalted Butter (softened)
Sugar
Brown Sugar (packed)
Pumpkin Puree
All-Purpose Flour
Baking Soda
Salt
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Directions:
Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Then prepare your baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray or with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step two: Now combine your wet ingredients. Use a large stand mixer or an electric hand mixer to cream together your peanut butter, butter, sugar, and brown sugar.
Once combined and smooth add in pumpkin puree and continue to mix until creamy and combined.
Step three: Meanwhile you want to get started with your dry ingredients. Us a separate mixing bowl to sift together your flour, baking soda, and salt. Then slowing add into your wet batter. Scraping sides as needed while you mix.
What is pumpkin spice? Pumpkin spice is a blend of spices. Usually, you find cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice in a pumpkin spice blend.
Step four: Roll your dough into 1 inch balls. Place on a baking sheet and use a fork to make a crisscross pattern.
Baking Cookies:
Step five: Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies just start to turn brown. Be careful not to over bake these cookies can get hard quickly.
Once cooked allow to cool on the pan or on a wire cooling rack for 10 minutes then serve and enjoy.
Pumpkin Peanut butter cookies are also very easy to make into a vegan or vegetarian treat.
You can even use all natural peanut butter for more organic wholesome cookie.
Here is my list for substitutions....
Peanut Butter , use natural or organic with nothing but peanuts or possibly salt.
Unsalted Butter (softened), you can now use plant based butter and my favorite is Country Crock or you can use Crisco Butter Flavored Baking Sticks.
Sugar, well you can do sugar free if you want too.
Brown Sugar (packed)
Pumpkin Puree, this is definitely vegan
All-Purpose Flour, this can even be gluten free, and i use King Arthur Measure for measure.
Baking Soda
Salt
Pumpkin Pie Spice
