I had extra kabocha squash, so I made cookies with it.

You can freeze the dough. If the room is warm when you're making this, the dough may become too soft. If so, refrigerate . Recipe by asapink

Steps

1

Peel the kabocha squash, place in a heatproof bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave it for 2.5 minutes ~ 3 minutes. Mash with a fork.
2

Place the butter in a separate bowl and microwave it for about 10 seconds. Add the sugar, and mix with a mixer until the colour turns pale and white.
3

Add the egg yolk into Step 2 and continue mixing. Add Step 1 kabocha squash and mix until smooth.
4

Combine the cake flour and baking powder and sift. Add to the bowl and mix well until it's no longer floury.
5

Wrap 1/3 of the dough. Sift cocoa and fold it into the rest of the dough and wrap it. Let it sit for about an hour.
6

Make shapes. You can make your own shapes or use cookie cutters. Place the shaped cookie dough 2 cm apart on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
