Pumpkin Seed Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 Cup all purpose flour
• 1 Cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 Cup butter, softened
• 3/4 Cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 Cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 Cup Pumpkin Seeds, raw plus more for decorating ((you could also use chopped walnuts))

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Combine the first 7 dry ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.

3. 3

   In a mixer (or in a bowl using a hand beater) cream the butter for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy then add honey and continue to beat for another minute.

4. 4

   Add the egg and vanilla and beat for 1 minute then add in pumpkin puree and mix until combined.

5. 5

   Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and slowly fold in pumpkin seeds.

6. 6

   Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop about 1 1/2 tbsp of the dough onto a Silpat or parchment-lined cookie sheet and using your finger or the back of a spoon, gently pat down to flatten the tops of the cookies slightly.

7. 7

   Use the extra pumpkin seeds to decorate the tops of the cookies (your little one can help you with this step!)

8. 8

   Bake for 12-14 minutes.

9. 9

   Cool and serve.
