To make this one-of-a-kind cookie, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). Then, in a large bowl, combine 1 cup (115g) of flour, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon (1g) of freshly grated nutmeg.
Next, add in 1/2 (113g) cup of light brown sugar and 1/4 cup (????) of melted butter and mix together briefly. Now for the unique flavor that makes this cookie so irresistible: mix in 1/4 cup (57g) of roasted butternut squash puree — you can find this in the canned vegetable aisle of your local grocery store.
For a little extra something, stir in 1/4 cup (30g) of chopped toasted pecans and 1/4 cup (30g) of dried cranberries. Now, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the dough for each cookie onto a sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
