Ingredients

• 1 cup Butternut squash puree
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the butternut squash puree, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts, if using, for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are lightly golden.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finishing touch.
