How To Make Pumpkin Spice Cookie Fries

Start by putting the pumpkin puree on a sheet of paper towel to soak up some of the liquid.

Place the butter and both sugars in the mixing bowl. Use the paddle attachment to mix them together until they are combined, light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

Next, add in the pumpkin puree and mix. Then, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix again until combined for about 1 minute.

In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice using a whisk.

Pour half the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix. Then, add the rest of the dry mix into the mixing bowl and continue mixing until the dough forms and is no longer touching the sides of the bowl. If the dough is still very wet, add 2 tablespoons of flour help bring the dough together.

Lay out two sheets of parchment paper, put the dough in between the sheets, and use a rolling pin to roll out the cookie dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Put the flat dough in the fridge for 15 minutes to help the dough keep its shape when you are using the cutter.

Use the crinkle cutter to cut across the dough horizontally at the height you want the cookie to be. I made them 4 inches long.

Next using the crinkle cutter, cut each fry individually by pressing a vertical line into the dough below the horizontal crinkled line. Make the fries your desired thickness. I made mine a little over half an inch thick. Repeat this step for the dough above the crinkle line.

Put the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Bake the cookies for 13- 14 minutes. Do not exceed 15 minutes otherwise the cookies will be too hard.

Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes.

Mix together 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and put it on a plate.
