Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

DOUGH

  • 1 stick butter (slightly softened)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 Tbsp pumpkin butter

FILLING

  • 1 tsp each cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice
  • 4 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 Tbsp butter (slightly softened)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
  2. Cream sugars and butter with mixer; add egg and beat until combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients to a sifter. Alternate adding milk and dry ingredients to the butter mixture while mixing. Then add vanilla and stir.
  4. Chill for 30 minutes before rolling out. Roll out into a rectangle on floured surface, spread with butter, pumpkin butter and top with brown sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
  5. Carefully and tightly roll into a log, then use floss or a serrated knife to cut into equally thin slices.

  6. Transfer to a baking sheet (they won't spread much) and bake for 14-15 minutes, being careful not to over-bake. They will be a little tender looking, but take them out, let them rest for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet, and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
