What You’ll Need:
Alright, let’s get to the goods. Here’s what you need to whip up these delicious cookies:
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree (not the spiced kind)
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of chocolate chips or nuts (optional)
Instructions to Make These Beautiful Cookies:
Now that you’ve gathered all your ingredients, let’s get busy!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you want to add chocolate chips or nuts, now’s the time to fold them in!
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers should still be soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
And there you go! Soft Pumpkin Cookies that are bursting with flavor and perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself). Enjoy every bite!
