Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips

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 mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, gently fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops no longer look wet.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy!
