Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)

1 tablespoon milk (optional, for brushing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

      Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. This helps ensure there are no lumps and the spices are evenly distributed.

        Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing—the dough should be slightly sticky but still workable.

          Shape the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and divide it into two equal halves. With floured hands, roll each half into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.

            Cut into Strips: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut each rectangle into strips approximately 1 inch wide. Take each strip and gently twist it before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.

              Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Once all the strips are twisted and arranged on the baking sheet, generously sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops of the twists for that extra sweet crunch.

                Optional Milk Wash: For an alluring golden color on the crust, lightly brush the tops of the twists with milk before placing them in the oven.

                  Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the twists are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

                    Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for a few minutes. Serve warm, perhaps drizzled with icing or alongside your favorite dipping sauce for an extra treat.

                        Presentation Tips: Arrange the twists on a decorative plate or a rustic wooden board. Consider serving with a small bowl of warm icing or cream cheese dip for an enticing touch!
