Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until well combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled—this is normal.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, 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 in the center and just beginning to turn golden around the edges.

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

Optional: Once cooled, sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar for a light, sweet finish before serving.
