Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 20 caramel candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree and egg; mix until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Scoop about two tablespoons of dough, flatten it slightly in your hands, place a caramel candy in the center, and wrap the dough around it to form a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Allow cooling for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
