Delicious Pumpkin Butter Sugar Cookies are the perfect texture, not too cake like but not crunchy like a sugar cookie and just the right amount of pumpkin flavor!
Dare I admit that I don’t like pumpkin pie? I don’t…I can’t stand it! However, that doesn’t mean I don’t like pumpkin. Hubbyman thinks it’s crazy that I don’t like pumpkin pie (I don’t like apple pie either….eek)!
I do love canning my own pumpkin and I also make my own pumpkin butter from scratch, basically I love easy pumpkin recipes…just not pie! It’s quite easy and it honestly tastes so much better than the store bought stuff. This recipe uses pumpkin butter and sweet and spiced thick spread (think apple butter). It really adds a wonderful flavor to these cookies. I recommend making your own or try to find it at the store. I know Trader Joe’s sells pumpkin butter, but it’s not in stores year round.
The cookies have a nice pumpkin flavor. They aren’t overly pumpkin-y though. They have a nice texture too..not quite sugar cookie texture, but not typical cakey pumpkin cookie texture either. It’s a nice combination of the two.
