Y’all, I’m sad to inform you that my oven is broken. Like really broken. Broken as in does not turn on, does not pass go, and does not collect $200. And, of course, this is after we spent months having our old gas lines cut off, new gas lines installed in more sensible locations, regulators installed on all of our gas appliances, and a new gas meter installed with some of these tasks requiring plumbers and gas company employees several trips to actually make happen. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Yes, this really dills my pickle. It was bad enough when I had to boil water in order to keep the oven at 350 degrees, but now, I can’t even get the darned thing to turn on. The constant “F9” error makes me so mad I could spit. So, for now, at least, I won’t be baking any more cookies, I won’t be reheating pizza on nights when I have no time to cook, and I most definitely won’t have to worry about McKenna trying to hop in the oven every time I open its door. Well, I guess there’s a silver lining in almost everything, right?

The result is a seasonal crackle cookie that is soft and chewy on the inside, yet crispy and full of texture on the outside.

Directions:

Cookie Dough:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix on medium speed for 1 minute.
  3. Mix the flour into the mixture on low speed until combined. Do not over-mix.
  4. Fold the pepitas and miniature chocolate chips into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for an hour or two to chill.

Cinnamon Sugar:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  3. Use a cookie scoop to measure out even amounts of dough. Using the palms of your hands, roll each scoop of dough into a ball and then roll each ball in cinnamon sugar to coat. Place each dough ball onto a Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes.
  5. Remove the cookies from the oven and use your finger to gently tap each cookie a few times and create sugary cracks.
  6. Transfer the cookies to a baking rack to finish cooling completely.
  7. Once cooled, store in an airtight container.

Suggestions:

  • The longer you leave the dough in the refrigerator, the easier it will be to roll. The dough is too sticky to roll immediately.
  • These cookies will spread a bit but not overly so. You can easily fit 12 cookies on a baking sheet.
  • If you have any leftover cinnamon sugar, place it in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Use it to make cinnamon sugar toast for breakfast.
  • If you choose, you can use normal-size chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate chips in this recipe.
  • This recipe will yield approximately 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

Improvements:

  • Replace the pepitas or pumpkin seeds with finely chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • You will not use an entire can of canned pumpkin for this recipe. Use some of the leftover pumpkin purée to make these Buttery Cinnamon Pumpkin Muffins or these Savory Canned Pumpkin Drop Biscuits.
  • Add a 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger or nutmeg to the cookie dough.
