Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, followed by the pumpkin puree. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a soft dough.
- Scoop and bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are just firm. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra spice, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling for best results.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 1 month; bake directly from frozen adding a couple of extra minutes to baking time.
