Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 300 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1-2 tsps pumpkin spice mix
Wet Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 100 g brown sugar
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 200 g white chocolate chips
- 100 g orange/pumpkin/Halloween M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Trays: Preheat your oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan). Line two or three large baking trays with parchment paper and set them aside for later.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric whisk (or by hand), cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about two minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the vanilla extract and medium egg into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Whisk again until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cornflour, and 1-2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice mix. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring or mixing until just combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips and M&Ms: Gently fold in white chocolate chips and the Halloween-themed orange/pumpkin M&Ms, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Form and Bake Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, portion out even amounts of dough and roll into balls. Place these on the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your festive pumpkin spice cookies!
