Today's new cookie should be a hit with a lot of people because it is pumpkin spice latte. Who said pumpkin spice is just for the fall. I like pumpkin all the time but mainly at the holidays which includes Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is a tender little cookie with a punch of flavor. I think you will enjoy it.
There is a couple of special ingredients in this recipe. More on that later.
Start with 2 sticks softened butter and add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. I know that is more vanilla but I rarely measure my vanilla.
Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Be careful or it will be all over your kitchen. Don't ask me how I know.
Add 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice extract
This is one of the special ingredients. You might have to look for this in a couple places.
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
This is the jar of instant espresso powder.
Mix all these together well.
Add 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour. Add a little at a time. Mix well.
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans.
This dough smells so good and if you like pumpkin spice you will love it. My husband is not a big fan of pumpkin spice but he liked these cookies.
My sample cookies. Place in a preheated 400 degree oven. Bake for 8-9 minutes. They won't get very brown.
These are going in the freezer.
These are just out of the oven.
While still warm roll in powdered sugar. Let cool a little and roll again. Some of that first powdered sugar gets melted into the cookie. You want it to look like a snowball.
These are ready to sample now.
Add 1 teaspoon Espresso powder. This is another special ingredient. It is not hard to find the little jar of espresso powder.
