Ingredients
1/4 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, heat treated
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Measure flour into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between, until it reaches 160°F.
2. Spread flour on parchment paper to cool completely.
3. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until smooth.
4. Add the pumpkin puree, cooled flour, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and powdered sugar. Mix until a thick dough forms.
5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
6. Serve immediately or chill for a firmer texture.
Notes
Always ensure flour reaches 160°F to kill bacteria. Do not skip cooling the flour, or it will melt the butter and sugar!
