1/4cupsugar
1/4cupmolasses
1.75ozflour, by weight(6 tbsp, measured)
1/16tspsalt
1/16tspground nutmeg
1tbspbrandy liqueur
For the pumpkin whipped cream:
1/3cupheavy cream
3tbsppumpkin puree
2tbspsugaror to taste
1/4tspground cinnamon
1/2tspvanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet, then stir in the sugar and molasses. Allow it to come to a bubble, then let it bubble for 60 seconds.
Turn the heat to low, then stir in the flour, salt, nutmeg, and Brandy.
Use a #60 2 tsp disher to portion out the cookies onto a baking sheet. Only do 4-6 per baking sheet, because they spread a lot. Bake for 10 minutes, and keep the remaining cookie batter on the low heat.
Remove the cookies from the oven, and let them cool for a couple minutes. Peel them off the baking sheet, and wrap them around the handle of a whisk or something you can use to shape them into a pipe.
Let them cool on a plate, until they are completely set (and re-shape as needed).
To make the whipped cream, place all ingredients in a bowl, and whip to soft peaks. Pipe the pumpkin whipped cream into the cooled cookies.
