These little cookie bites are perfect for fall. They are soft and barely expand on the cookie sheet – almost reminiscent of mini muffins. Make them when you need a cookie fix but want to try something new.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 egg
• 1 cup pumpkin
• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray
3. Mix all dry ingredients (except the granulated and confectioner’s sugar) in a bowl
4. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, butter, pumpkin, egg and vanilla – in that order – until ingredients are thoroughly combined
5. Add dry mixture to wet mixture and stir until batter is thick
6. Pour confectioner’s sugar in a different bowl
7. Roll batter into small balls and roll the balls in the sugar until thoroughly coated
8. Place batter balls on cookie sheet
9. Bake for 6-8 minutes
10. Let cool before enjoying
