Portuguese Pumpkin Cookies
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (220 g)
1/3 cup blanched almonds (50 g)
1/2 cup sugar (100 g)
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 1/2 oz pumpkin puree (about 100 g)
3 1/2 tablespoons oil (50 ml)
1 egg
A pinch of cinnamon
Zest of 1 orange
Preparation
In a bowl, combine the sifted flour, sugar, chopped almonds, and baking powder.
Mix in the pumpkin purée and the egg.
Add cinnamon and orange zest for flavor.
Beat the mixture well by hand or with an electric mixer until you have a soft and sticky dough.
Use a teaspoon to scoop small portions of the dough, roll them in powdered sugar, and shape them into small balls.
Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Be sure to space the cookies apart as they will double in size during baking.
Refrigerate the tray of cookies for 30 minutes before baking.
After refrigeration, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes.
The cookies should be golden brown on the bottom and lightly colored on the surface.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
