This is my 2nd attempt on pumpkin cookie. 1st attempt is unsatisfactory though is still edible :) My son loves these cookies alot, the 1st batch is almost all gobbled down by him! After researching & making some modifications, this particular batch of cookies is definitely better than the previous one!
Besides muffin, cookie making is also another simple baking which I like to do :) Though no complicating steps, there are still a few things to note when preparing a cookie dough. To make creaming easy, I cut the butter into small cubes and bring to room temperature before beating with the sugar. After beating on medium speed for 2-3 mins, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl in between, the butter mixture will increase in volume with a light & fluffy texture. Follow then add eggs one at a time, if using more than 1 eggs, & essence, beat till evenly mix. This step only takes about less than 1 minute for each egg added.

Instead of using the beater to mix in the flour, I used a spatula to fold in the flour mixture till a dough is formed. Depending on the texture of the cookie dough, dropped cookies can be baked immediately or chill for a short while in fridge for easier shaping. As for cut-out cookie, the dough will have to be chilled till hard enough to roll & cut.
