Notes
How to make your own pumpkin puree:
- Cut the pumpkin into a few pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F and bake the pumpkin on a baking sheet until it starts to brown nicely and caramelize for 30-45 minutes.
- Baking the pumpkin will remove the excess liquid and enrich the puree flavor we need to make.
- Once it is baked, scrape the pumpkin from the peel, using a fork press, and squish it into a fine puree.
- Let the puree cool down.
- Follow the recipe instructions for the pumpkin cookie recipe.
