Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 90 grams light brown sugar
• 120 grams pumpkin puree
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 30 grams powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 2 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing as it can make the cookies dense.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and decoration.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
