Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the peanut butter, pumpkin puree, unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and well-combined.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and large egg to the wet mixture, and mix until just combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball of dough slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern if desired.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies appear lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your homemade Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite fall beverage!
