Brown Sugar Pumpkin Cookies

October 14, 2016 by Life is but a Dish 19 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Brown Sugar Pumpkin CookiesI’m back on the pumpkin train. It’s pretty much impossible not to be! It’s just SO good. Agree? Are you with me?

I could definitely eat pumpkin bread and/or muffins all day long. Like, if I had to ONLY eat pumpkin muffins for the next month, I’d be okay with that. But today, I decided to make pumpkin cookies. Not just any pumpkin cookie.

Brown sugar pumpkin cookies. Yep. 

Brown Sugar Pumpkin CookiesAnd not just any brown sugar. I use T-Sugar’s Belgian Cassonade Sugar. It’s the kind of sugar I could totally eat straight out of the bag with a spoon. (Not that I’ve ever done that). 

Brown Sugar Pumpkin CookiesWe also need to discuss the texture of these cookies. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t like cake-y textured cookies, then these aren’t for you. I, on the other hand happen to love it. These cookies are super soft, and almost have a cake-like/muffin top like texture. I’m totally into it. 

Brown Sugar Pumpkin CookiesAnd the flavor?! Out of this world. Pumpkin spice to the max! Oh, and that glaze to top it off?

Everything.

      It’s by a company called T-Sugars, http://www.tsugars.com/us/stores/ Great quality, but yes you can use any brown sugar.

    Thank you for sharing!
    Where do you purchase the T sugar? Will it make that much of a difference if I just use regular sugar?

    These cookies sound great and I’m going to make them today for a Halloween party! However, You don’t say in the recipe to add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture. I’m guessing you had it after you add the egg and vanilla, ,correct?

      Hi Belinda! Unfortunately I do not have the calories and/or carb count for these. Not sure I wanna know 🙂 But there are many online free tools you can use to find out by plugging in the ingredients! I’m so happy you loved the cookies!

⁣
There’s never gonna be the perfect time to go after your goals, make the change, take the leap or do that one scary thing you’ve been thinking about. Life will keep happening. There will always be a reason to not.⁣
⁣
But what if? What if you decided right now to make it work? What if you decided to prioritize that thing you KNOW will change your life (and the lives of others) forever? ⁣
⁣
What if I told you that in 8 weeks (think about how short that is in the grand scheme), you could feel confident enough in the kitchen to feed yourself and your family healthy, delicious meals that they begged for over and over again. ⁣
⁣
How would that make you feel? Truly... I want you to take a second to think about how you would feel knowing that you and your family were actually excited about the next meal. So excited that they go back for seconds and request it again the next night. Feels pretty good, huh? ⁣
⁣
Feels pretty awesome to put yourself first for a change because guess what? When you put yourself first, everybody wins. ⁣

LOOK WHAT I MADE! My first 6-braid challah! 😍⁣
⁣
I’ve been super inspired by this new book JEW-ish by @jakecohen. ⁣
⁣
I love his story, the why behind the book and of course, the recipes!⁣
⁣
Jew-ish is the perfect way to describe how I grew up. Sure, I was raised Jewish, we celebrated all the big holidays and I had a Bat Mitzvah, but I never really built a strong connection with Judaism itself. ⁣
⁣
I’ve learned most everything I know about Judaism through having kids and learning alongside them. It’s been a beautiful journey for me and this book has inspired me to continue learning, celebrating and being proud. ✡️⁣
⁣
@jakecohen writes about making Shabbat and Jewish traditions whatever you want them to be without the pressure of making it perfect. He also teaches you how to make this challah! For me, food is what brings us all together and BOOM CLAP it doesn’t get more Jewish than this big ass challah! ⁣
⁣
Let’s do a GIVEAWAY to celebrate! ⁣

Enter for a chance to win a copy of @jakecohen book JEW-ISH.⁣
