Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin puree and egg to the mixture; blend until fully combined. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined, ensuring not to overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look set but still soft.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
