• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting, 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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree to the wet ingredients. Mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your soft and fluffy Pumpkin Cake Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
