Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream 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 add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing at low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped walnuts using a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 7
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden and the tops appear set.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your Pumpkin Walnut Cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of milk. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
