Welcome. Deronda here with foods 101.
Today. I'm showing you how to make this Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies. They're
absolutely fabulous.
The ingredients you're going to need is three (3) cups of white whole wheat flour,
if you would like to use all-purpose flour
you may, two(2) cups of light brown sugar
(lightly packed) one (1) cup of canola oil, one (1) 15 ounce can of
pureed pumpkin.
Make sure you use the hundred percent 100% pure pumpkin.
Very important for this cookie recipe. One (1) teaspoon of baking powder,
one (1) teaspoon of baking soda, one (1) teaspoon of salt, two(2) large eggs, one 1 teaspoon of ground clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Four (4) tablespoons of expresso coffee (if you don't want to use
espresso or you don't have it on hand go ahead and use black coffee) and one 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla
extract. For the frosting part of this cookie
you're going to use one (1) cup of powdered sugar. Some of you in the world will know this is icing sugar or
confectionery sugar.
1/2 cup of butter, 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese at room temperature, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Let me show you how we're going to get this cookie together. In a medium bowl
I'm adding all my flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The teaspoons of ground nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove. Whisk these
ingredients until they're well
blended. Sit this off to the side. In a large bowl I'm adding that can of
100% pumpkin puree. Along with that lovely
light brown sugar, the one (1) cup of canola oil ( if you want to use vegetable oil
you can) add your two (2) eggs, vanilla, and three (3) tablespoons of expresso coffee. With the beater on
medium we're going to beat these ingredients until they're well blended. After a minute
we're going to start adding in our flour. Add 1/3 it at a time, beating, until you can no longer see the flour. Add
an additional
one-third of your flour mixture.
Beat until you can no longer see the flour. These are
smelling fantastic. Add the remaining flour. And again, we're gonna beat this until you can no longer see the flour.
This is ready for the cookie sheet.
I'm using a 13" by 18" inch cookie pan that I've lined with parchment paper.
It's not necessary to use the parchment paper,
but I love the way it makes the bottom of these cookies look. With a regular ice-cream scooper
I'm going to scoop out about 2 to 3 tablespoons of our cookie batter. Just lie it right here on
the parchment paper. These are off to a
350 degree preheated
oven. On the middle
rack for the next 12 to 15 minutes. Use your timer and no peeking. Baked
Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies. My whole house smells fabulous.
To check for doneness use a toothpick.
Stick it in pull it out.
If there was any cookie dough batter on there, you would put these back in the oven for a few more minutes.
I'm gonna let these cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes
I'm gonna
transport my cookies over here to a cooling rack. As you can see if I didn't use that parchment paper it would've stuck to
our cookie sheet, so make sure you grease your cookie
sheet just a tad bit if you're not using the parchment paper. I've been adding my cream cheese.
That is my softened cream cheese into a medium mixing bowl. With that room
temperature butter. You see how lovely and soft that is? That's what you're looking for.
You can put it in the microwave for a few 5 to 10 seconds, at a time.
until you get this softness on your butter. Cream these two ingredients together until they're nice light and fluffy.
It will take about a minute. I'm using a salted butter here,
but if you're using an unsalted butter you'll want to use just a pinch of salt to really pop the flavor of your Cream Cheese Frosting.
I'm adding the powdered sugar along with that ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
I'm gonna add 2 tablespoons of that espresso coffee.
And we're gonna beat this until it's nice and
lovely. It's gonna take about a minute. That looks fantastic.
Wow and look how nice and light that is. This is ready for the top of those cookies. With a regular spoon. I
take a dollop of that frosting
using the back of the spoon and spread it around that cookie as you wish.
I've just got to try these. I'm gonna break into it and see what it's like. Oh.
Wow. YUM.
Look how nice and soft
and fresh that is. Got to give it a try. Wow. These are
absolutely fantastic.
YUMMY. I can taste that pumpkin,
nutmeg, cinnamon, with this spiced cream cheese frosting. Where's my cup of coffee? Where's my cup of tea?
Where's my glass of milk? By the way, these make three (3) dozen cookies. I'm Deronda with foods 101.
