DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the mashed butternut squash, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cookie dough forms.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
Remove the Butternut Cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and savor the delightful taste of fall with Butternut Cookies. Enjoy!
