⅓ cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ¾ cups all purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cream together the butter and sugar: In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for about 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add spices and pumpkin: Add the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix on low speed until combined. Beat in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until incorporated.
Incorporate the egg: Add the egg and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gradually add flour: Slowly add the flour to the wet ingredients on low speed until just incorporated. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times.
Fill the cookie press: Fill your cookie press with the pumpkin dough. Choose your desired cookie disc for shaping.
Pipe the cookies: Pipe the dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake: Bake the cookies for 6-9 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly browned.
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious homemade pumpkin spritz cookies!
