You can, of course, buy ready-made pumpkin puree from the store, usually canned. Pumpkin puree is used for a multitude of recipes, from savory to sweet.
For example, we have other pumpkin recipes such as our pumpkin zucchini bread, Spiked Pumpkin Pie which is very popular around Thanksgiving time, our Easy Breezy Pumpkin Dump Cake, and for savory, we have a lovely Spiced Baked Cauliflower and Pumpkin with Teryaki Chicken recipe which great as an appetizer or party food.
For this recipe, Carina has made her own pumpkin puree, but of course, you can buy ready-made puree from the store if you don't have the time to make your own.
This pumpkin cookies recipe is adaptable too. Instead of raisins, you could use other dried fruit, such as cranberries, or swap for chocolate chips. Whatever you decide, they'll taste delicious!

Ong
says:May I know are these crispy or chewy pumpkin cookies? Thanks.
Lovefoodies
says:Hi, they are crispy on the outside and chewy inside. If you wish for crispy, just keep them in the oven for another 5 minutes, but keep an eye they don’t burn
Jane
says:I followed the recipe exactly but substituted chocolate chips for the raisins. Cookies came out great!
Phyllis
says:5 TBS of baking powder sounds way too much. Is this correct?
Lovefoodies
says:Hi Phyllis, it’s teaspoons ?
triv
says:prep time was…. more…. than 5 minutes!! cookies came out very good (i did half the raisins and half the nuts (pecan) because of household preferences, probably should have done full amts.though). great with coffee or cold glass of milk.
Cinni
says:Has anyone made these using LESS sugar? We like things less sweet but want to make sure the recipe isn’t already that way or if using 3/4 cup would ruin the texture.
April Adams
says:1 1/4 WHATs of brown sugar, Mary? Cups? Tablespoons? These sound so good, I have to try them.
lovefoodies
says:Well spotted April! I was checking if anyone was awake :) It is cups. Sorryyyyy! Will correct it now! Thanks for asking!
