Kabocha Squash and Sesame Drop Cookies
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I thought of this recipe as a snack for my kids. They love kabocha, so this easy-to-make recipe works great for us I made the steps as easy as possible, so the kids can help make it.
There's nothing really difficult about this. The key is just to make sure the butter and egg are at room temperature, and make sure the mashed kabocha cools before you add it. Feel free to make these drop cookies to your liking! Adding cinnamon would make a great flavor combination! Recipe by Toiroiro

- 1
Peel the kabocha squash and cut into 5 mm pieces. Rinse lightly and put into a heatproof bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave at 500 W for 4-5 minutes.
- 2
After the kabocha is soft, mash with a masher or a fork. If you mash it roughly and leave it a little chunky, the cookies will be really tasty. Start preheating the oven now!
- 3
Put the butter (brought to room temperature) in a bowl and add the sugar in 2 batches, stirring well to blend after each addition.
- 4
Add the beaten egg and mix quickly to prevent separation.
- 5
Add the cooled mashed kabocha squash. Mix again.
- 6
Sift the cake flour 3 times. Add the cake flour and the sesame seeds and fold into the dough with a rubber spatula.
- 7
Just before the dough is completely combined, mix in a few drops of vanilla oil. The dough is ready.
- 8
The finished dough will look like this.
- 9
Using 2 spoons, drop the cookies onto a baking sheet. If they're too big, they might not cook through, so make them about 25 mm in diameter.
- 10
Bake in an oven preheated to 340F/170C for 15-18 minutes. When the cookies are golden brown, they're done! The outside will be crispy and the inside will be soft. Delicious!
- 11
These cookies taste best right out of the oven. After they cool, you can warm them in the toaster oven to get that fresh-baked taste again.
- 12
If you prefer a crispier texture, smooth and flatten the cookies a little bit when you drop them on the baking sheet.

Kabocha Squash Cookies
I love kabocha squash so I've always wanted to make kabocha squash cookies. I referred to a recipe for snowball cookies that was printed on a packet of powdered sugar. I increased the flour so that the cookies wouldn't fall apart, reduced the sugar to bring out the kabocha squash flavor, and reduced the butter and so forth.✿The kabocha squash reduces in volume a little when it's pureed, so have more ready than you think you'll need, and measure after it's pureed. You can boil or steam it instead of microwaving it. If you microwave it, pour a little water over so the surface won't get hard. ✿You can use margarine, or a 1:1 mix of butter or margarine and shortening, instead of the butter. ✿The reason why I give the cookies a second baking is that by giving them a hard finish, you get more kabocha squash flavor when you crunch on them.

Kabocha Cookies with Aromatic Sesame
I thought kabocha and sesame would go well together, so I tried making this. I only used a little sesame, but it was enough.If you have an aluminium tray in your freezer, place your cookies on that and they will harden more quickly. The photo for step 4 shows it on a tray. You can make different versions using chopped raisins, chocolate, brandy or rum etc.Kabocha tends to rot or turn bad quickly when there are seeds left in, so if you want to store it, it's always a good idea to remove the seeds first, heat for 3 minutes in the microwave, divide into small portions and freeze.

Kabocha Squash Cookie for Halloween
I wanted to make a pumpkin color and pumpkin shaped cookie for a gift. I give it to people in a black box with an orange ribbon with a Halloween mood.The shaping process after wrapping in a cellophane wrap will determine the cookie shape either to look like a pumpkin or not so try to press it well to shape.The pumpkin pattern will disappear while baking if the cuts are too shallow.The cookies will look more shiny if you brush the remaining egg white or beaten egg on the surface of the cookies before baking.

Kabocha Squash Cookies without Cookie Cutters
I came up with this recipe where you don't need cookie cutters. You can make lots of them for Halloween parties for kids.When you chop the kabocha squash in a food processor it will be lumpy.

You will taste the sweetness of the kabocha squash, but kids seem to enjoy a sweeter taste. Recipe by twinflower

Simple and Soft Kabocha Squash Halloween Cookies
Crunchy cookies are nice, but soft, chewy cookies have a somewhat nostalgic taste.If the kabocha is not chilled well enough, the butter will melt, so be careful to chill it thoroughly before mixing. The amount of moisture varies depending on the type of kabocha, so adjust the recipe accordingly. For 12 to 14 cookies. Recipe by Cake to pan no sensei
