Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry ingredients<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream butter and sugars<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add egg and flavorings<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Beat in the egg until well combined.<\/li>\n<li>Add the butternut flavoring (or butternut extract) and vanilla extract, and mix to combine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine wet and dry ingredients<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.<\/li>\n<li>Gently press down on the tops of the cookies with a fork or your fingers to slightly flatten them (they won\u2019t spread much during baking).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look soft but set.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><strong>Tips:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butternut Flavoring<\/strong>: If you can\u2019t find butternut flavoring, you can substitute with butter flavoring or a combination of vanilla and a little almond extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Texture<\/strong>: For a chewier texture, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the flour mixture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage<\/strong>: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for up to a month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These <strong>Butternut Cookies<\/strong> are soft, buttery, and full of flavor\u2014perfect for any occasion or just to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Butternut cookies are soft, flavorful cookies made with butternut flavoring (or butter-flavored extract) and often have a rich, buttery texture.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Butternut cookies recipe - Grandma Baking Recipes","description":"Butternut cookies are soft, flavorful cookies made with butternut flavoring (or butter-flavored extract) and often have a rich, buttery texture.
