Pumpkin Muffin-Top Cookies

Excerpted from Homegrown, by Mairlyn Smith. Reprinted with permission of Whitecap Books, 2015.

“These yummy, big pumpkin cookies look and taste like the best part of a muffin—the top. They are wholesome, moist and easy to make.” —Teresa

INGREDIENTS
2 cups (500 mL) whole wheat flour
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp (155 mL) unsalted green pumpkin seeds, divided
3 Tbsp (45 mL) natural wheat germ
1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) ground cinnamon
1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp (1 mL) iodized salt
2 omega-3 eggs
1 1/4 cups (310 mL) pure pumpkin puree (see note)
2/3 cup (160 mL) packed dark brown sugar (see note)
1/4 cup (60 mL) canola oil
1 tsp (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
Ingredient Notes:

METHOD

1. Position rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, 1/2 cup (125 mL) pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, pumpkin puree, sugar, oil and vanilla; stir into flour mixture until blended.
4. Drop batter onto prepared baking sheets in 1/4-cup (60 mL) portions, with each portion approx. 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Flatten portions slightly and sprinkle tops with remaining pumpkin seeds.
5. Bake cookies in batches for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a cookie comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in a covered container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Ingredient Notes:

Pumpkin Puree—For optimum flavour use pure pumpkin puree and not a pumpkin and squash combination. Leftover pumpkin puree can be frozen in an airtight container for another batch of
cookies.
Brown Sugar—If your brown sugar is lumpy, pass through a sieve or crumble with fingertips.

PHEC Tip:
If you only have one baking sheet, let it cool between batches. A hot baking sheet will cause cookie batter to spread, resulting in a change in texture and shape.
