Why should I chill the dough for pumpkin cheesecake thumbprint cookies?

Chilling your dough is a crucial step to ensuring the perfect cookie, and you do not want to skip it! Chilling will cool down the butter, preventing the cookies from spreading out too fast in the oven.

Salted vs. Unsalted Butter:

You can use either salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. If you use salted butter you will want to omit the 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Egg Substitutes:

Not all egg substitutes are created equal, and some can affect the taste of the cookie. We recommend a plant-based egg substitute if you do not want to bake with eggs. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other fantastic pumpkin recipes:
