- 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg - ½ teaspoon salt - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened - 1 cup brown sugar, packed - ½ cup granulated sugar - 1 large egg - 1 cup pure pumpkin puree - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 8 oz cream cheese, softened - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened - 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - A pinch of salt When I make soft pumpkin cookies, I start by gathering my dry ingredients. I use flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. These create the perfect base for the cookies. Next, I focus on the wet ingredients. I mix softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until they are light and fluffy. Then, I add a large egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. This mixture gives the cookies their rich flavor and soft texture. For the cream cheese frosting, I whip up softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. I slowly add powdered sugar and finish with vanilla and salt. This frosting adds a sweet touch to the cookies. Remember to check out the Full Recipe for precise measurements and steps. Each ingredient plays a vital role in making these cookies a delight you won’t forget! - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This helps cookies bake evenly and makes cleanup easy. - In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Set this mixture aside for later. - In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar. Beat this for 2-3 minutes until it is light and fluffy. - Add 1 large egg, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mix. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined. - Carefully fold in the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix just until combined. Do not overmix, as this will help keep your cookies soft. - Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart. - Place the baking sheets in the oven. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes. They should feel set at the edges but look a bit underbaked in the center. - After baking, let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. To make soft pumpkin cookies, do not overmix your dough. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Mix the wet and dry ingredients just until they come together. This keeps the cookies soft and tender. For the right dough consistency, it should be thick but sticky. If it feels too dry, add a touch more pumpkin puree. If it seems too wet, sprinkle in a bit of flour. Use a cookie scoop for even shapes, which helps them bake nicely. To get the perfect cream cheese frosting, start with softened cream cheese and butter. Beat them together until smooth. Then, slowly add the sifted powdered sugar. This method helps avoid lumps. For extra flavor, you can add spices like cinnamon or vanilla. To make the frosting smoother, use a splash of milk or cream. This helps it glide on the cookies without clumping. When serving your cookies, arrange them on a colorful platter. This adds a fun touch to any gathering.

Make sure the blend has xanthan gum for the best texture. You may also need to adjust the liquids a bit. This will help keep the dough from being too dry. Always check the labels to ensure all ingredients are gluten-free. Want a vegan option? You can replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. For the egg, use a flax egg or applesauce.

- 1 pound kielbasa, cut into ½-inch thick rounds - 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch segments - 1 medium onion, finely diced - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 cup tomatoes, diced (can be canned or fresh) - 1 cup vegetable broth - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon dried thyme - Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper In this dish, we start with kielbasa, a tasty sausage that adds rich flavor. Fresh green beans bring a nice crunch and bright color. Slicing them into small pieces gets them tender quickly. Next, we use onion for sweetness and depth. Minced garlic adds a lovely aroma and savory taste. Tomatoes provide acid and freshness to balance the dish. You can use fresh or canned tomatoes based on what you have. Vegetable broth is vital for adding moisture and flavor. Seasonings are key. Smoked paprika gives a warm, smoky taste. Dried thyme adds an earthy note. Don’t forget sea salt and black pepper to enhance all these flavors. This mix of ingredients makes a warm, hearty meal your family will love. {{ingredient_image_2}} To start, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Once the oil is warm, add 1 medium onion, finely diced. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes. You want it to turn translucent and slightly golden. Next, add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Stir constantly for about a minute until the garlic is fragrant. Make sure it does not brown. After that, transfer the cooked onion and garlic mixture to your crockpot. Now it's time to add the main ingredients. First, toss in 1 pound of kielbasa, cut into ½-inch thick rounds. Then, add 1 pound of fresh green beans, with their ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch segments. Follow this with 1 cup of diced tomatoes, which can be canned or fresh. Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth. Then, season the dish. Add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. You can also add sea salt to taste. Stir everything gently to combine. Cover the crockpot with its lid. You can cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The goal is for the green beans to become tender and for the flavors to meld beautifully. If you like some heat, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes into the dish during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will give your meal a nice kick. Before serving, taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can cook this dish on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Cooking on low gives the flavors more time to blend. If you're short on time, choose high. Both methods work well, but low will make the green beans extra tender. Taste your dish before serving. If it needs more flavor, add a pinch of salt or pepper. You can also add more smoked paprika for a deeper taste. Remember to mix well after adding any seasonings. This step helps create a balanced flavor. Serve the dish in shallow bowls for a nice look. Garnish with chopped parsley for fresh color. Add slices of crusty bread on the side. This bread will soak up the tasty broth, making every bite better. These simple steps make your meal look special. Pro Tips Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality kielbasa for the best flavor. Fresh ingredients, especially green beans, will enhance the overall dish. Flavor Building: Sautéing the onions and garlic until golden adds depth to the dish. Do not rush this step! Slow Cooking Benefits: Cooking the dish on low for a longer time allows flavors to meld beautifully. If you're in a hurry, the high setting will still yield good results. Serving Suggestions: Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth. {{image_4}} You can swap kielbasa for other meats.

To make homemade pumpkin spice creamer, you need a few key ingredients. Here’s the list: - 1 cup whole milk (or your favorite milk alternative) - 1 cup heavy cream - 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade) - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger) - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon - A pinch of fine sea salt Each ingredient brings its own flavor and texture. The milk and cream create a rich base. The pumpkin puree gives that warm autumn flavor. Maple syrup adds sweetness, while vanilla adds depth. The spices create that perfect pumpkin spice blend we all love. If you have dietary needs, don’t worry! You can easily swap some ingredients. For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or oat milk instead of whole milk. Coconut cream works well if you want a dairy-free alternative to heavy cream. You can also use agave syrup if you need a different sweetener. Just make sure to taste as you go! Choosing the right ingredients makes a big difference. Always pick fresh pumpkin puree. If you can, opt for pure pumpkin without extra sugar or additives. Look for real maple syrup, not the imitation kind. It tastes better and is healthier. When it comes to spices, fresher is always better. Check the expiration dates on your spices for maximum flavor. To start, gather your ingredients. You will need: - 1 cup whole milk (or your favorite milk alternative) - 1 cup heavy cream - 1/2 cup pumpkin puree - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon - A pinch of fine sea salt Next, grab a medium saucepan. Pour in the whole milk and heavy cream. Add the pumpkin puree and whisk it together. Make sure the mixture is smooth and blended. Set your heat to medium. As it warms, keep whisking gently. Be careful not to let it boil. When the mixture is warm, add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk it all together until it’s mixed well. This step makes your creamer rich and flavorful. Keep an eye on your heat. If it gets too hot, the creamer can curdle. You want to heat it through, not cook it. Stir often to help it heat evenly. The goal is to create a cozy, warm mix that smells like fall. Once heated, take the saucepan off the heat. Let the creamer cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. This cooling time lets the flavors come together nicely. To make sure your creamer is smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. This removes any lumps from the pumpkin puree. Pour the strained creamer into a clean jar or pitcher. After that, let the creamer cool to room temperature. Once cooled, seal it with a lid and put it in the fridge. It will thicken a bit as it cools. Before use, give it a gentle shake. Now, it’s ready to add to your favorite coffee or tea for that perfect fall touch! For the full recipe, check out the instructions above. Enjoy your homemade treat! To get the best taste, focus on high-quality ingredients. Use fresh pumpkin puree for a rich flavor. If you prefer sweet, adjust the maple syrup to your liking. Adding a bit more pumpkin pie spice can enhance the fall flavor. Always taste as you mix. This helps you find your perfect balance. One big mistake is letting the mixture boil. Boiling can change the texture and flavor. Also, don’t skip the straining step. Straining helps remove any lumps, giving you a smooth creamer. Lastly, avoid using stale spices. Fresh spices make a huge difference in taste. For a thicker creamer, use more heavy cream and less milk. You can also let the creamer cool longer before storing. This allows it to thicken. If you find it too thick later, just whisk in a bit of milk until you reach your desired consistency. {{image_4}} You can make your pumpkin spice creamer even better! Try adding a few drops of almond extract for a nutty twist. If you want a richer flavor, add a spoonful of cocoa powder. This change adds depth and a hint of chocolate. You can also adjust the sweetness. If you love it sweeter, add more maple syrup or a bit of brown sugar. You have many options for milk alternatives. Almond milk, oat milk, and coconut milk all work well. Almond milk gives a light, nutty taste. Oat milk adds creaminess, making it feel rich. Coconut milk offers a tropical vibe that pairs well with spices. Just remember to choose unsweetened versions if you want more control over the sweetness. Want to switch things up with the seasons? Use fresh pumpkin puree in the fall for a vibrant flavor. In winter, try adding a touch of peppermint extract for a festive twist. During the summer, you can swap pumpkin for ripe bananas to make a banana spice creamer. Each change brings new flavors and keeps your coffee exciting. For the complete recipe, check out the [Full Recipe]. To keep your homemade pumpkin spice creamer fresh, pour it into a clean jar. Make sure the jar has a tight lid. This helps keep out air and light, which can spoil the creamer. Always let it cool to room temperature first. Once it’s cool, seal it and place it in the fridge. Store the creamer on a middle shelf in your fridge. This spot usually stays at a safe, stable temperature. Avoid putting it in the door, where temperatures change often. Always shake the jar gently before using. This helps mix the ingredients that may settle. Homemade pumpkin spice creamer lasts about one week in the fridge. After that, it may start to spoil.
