Procedure of preparing Pumpkin spice cookies
Before you start to make the cookies check if you have all the ingredients needed. This will both save time and efforts. Once you have gathered and arranged all the ingredients mix the flour, spices and baking powder together in a large bowl. Whisk these ingredients to mix them properly. Take the help of an electric mixer to soften the butter so it becomes silky. Mix the white and brown sugars with the butter. Add the eggs and vanilla extract in this mix. Mix this with the flour and baking powder. Keep on stirring and mixing till it becomes semi solid and balls up. Put the dough on a clean surface and keep on kneading. Keep it in the fridge for cooling and then cut out in desired shapes and sizes.
