Description

Polvorones are also known as Mexican wedding cookies—this pumpkin-flavored twist on the classic recipe is the perfect treat for fall. These tender and nutty whole wheat pumpkin pecan cookies are so simple to make. They’re vegan if you use coconut oil instead of butter, but if you are a butter lover or if that is all you have on hand, go with the butter. Little hands might like to help roll the dough into balls.

Ingredient:

  • ½ cup room-temperature coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • ½ cup pumpkin purée
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 slightly heaping cup raw pecans
  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or regular whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
