Ingredients
-
225 g plain flour
-
65 g caster sugar
-
65 g brown sugar
-
150 g butter, softened
-
1 egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon Spice Zen Pumpkin Spice Blend
-
Pinch of salt

Directions
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-forced and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Beat the butter with both sugars until smooth and well combined. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt and Pumpkin Spice Blend to the bowl and fold gently until a soft dough forms.
Cover and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to firm slightly.
Roll the dough into balls and place on the prepared tray, leaving about 3 cm space between each.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden and just cooked through.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate by dipping into melted white chocolate and finishing with sprinkles.
Chef’s Notes
Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
Remove from the oven while still pale for a softer centre.
Recipe Note
Decoration Option: Keep the cookies plain for a less sweet finish.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Seasonal Swap: Pumpkin Spice Blend can be replaced with Apple Pie Spice Blend for variation.
