Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar, packed
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it becomes light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter and sugar mix, blending until just combined.
Press about two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of a lined 9×13-inch baking pan, creating an even layer.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
Spread the pumpkin pie filling evenly over the shortbread base in the pan. Crumble the remaining dough over the pumpkin layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice the cookies into squares or rectangles and serve.
