Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cups canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 24 units cinnamon-flavored chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg to the wet mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly puffed.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press one cinnamon chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The warm cookie will slightly melt the kiss, so avoid touching it once placed.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Pumpkin Spice Blossoms at room temperature and enjoy the delicious taste of fall!
