  • 210 g AP flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin spice
  • 12 pieces Semi sweet chocolate good quality e.g. Valrhona

Instructions

  • Please read instructions in this tutorial about how to make home made pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice from scratch
  • For the best result cook pumpkin puree for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickens and some water evaporates. You will need a thick, intense pumpkin puree to make this recipe

  • Fold pumpkin puree in with Rubber spatula
  • Sift the dry ingredients: flour, salt, pumpkin spice and baking soda together then fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture with Rubber spatula
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal balls (using a Digital scale is handy, 80g each) and place them on parchment paper leaving enough space between them to spread. Place 2 pieces of chocolate on top of each cookie. Let them chill in the fridge for an hour or two
  • Pre-heat oven to 180 C / 356°F
  • Bake the cookies as per following: At 11 minutes take the tray out and bang the tray to the kitchen counter and apply circular movement around them with the help of a cookie cutter (as explained in the Tips section above). Continue to bake for 5 more minutes. Overall the cookies require 16 minutes baking in 180C. The cookies might look under baked however they will set as they cool
