How to Make Weight Watchers Pumpkin Cookies
- Servings: 13
- Serving size: 1 cookie
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cook time: 12 minutes
- Rest time: 5 minutes
- Total time: 27 minutes
Preheat the oven to 345F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl whisk dry ingredients.
Add wet ingredients, stir with a spatula or hand mixer.
Once you have achieved a cookie dough consistency make 13 balls of the same size, place them onto the parchment paper.
Flatten them with your hands.
Grab a circle-shaped cookie cutter of at less half of the size of your cookies. Press down the cookie cutter in the middle of the cookie, don’t go all the way down, just enough to see the circular shape in the center of the cookie.
With a small knife make lines around the circle of about ⅓ inch wide each.
With your fingers grab the end of each line and press it together. Repeat the same process until all the cookies have the same shape.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before removing from the sheet.
Store in an airtight container.
Notes:
If you replace the stevia extract quantities of the sweetener will change but the result will be the same.
Shape your cookies in the same baking sheet you’ll be baking them to avoid transferring them before baking.
