Ingredients
•
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup brown sugar
•
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1 pinch salt
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
•
2 eggs
•
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with pumpkin puree and vanilla extract; stir in pecans. Pour in the dry ingredients, and stir to make a stiff dough. Divide the dough in half, and form each half into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
4
Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes; remove to a work surface and slice the logs into individual cookies about 1/2-inch thick. Use a sharp knife and a light sawing motion to cut up the cookies. Place the cookies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
5
Return the cookies to the oven, and bake until lightly browned, about 8 minutes; turn the cookies over and bake until crisp, another 8 minutes. Let cool on wire racks.
