Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227 g) Unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) Vanilla Extract
  • 1 (1) Egg
  • ½ cup (122.5 g) Pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) All-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Salt
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) Nutmeg

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, measure and add flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon, whisking together to blend. In another bowl, weigh or measure the sugar and add it to your mixer bowl and the butter.
  • Using your mixer on medium speed, mix sugar and butter until light in color and sugar is incorporated, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin.
  • Turn your mixer to low speed and slowly add the flour mixture until combined. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Cover and place your cookie dough into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to return the butter to a cooler temperature.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C) and line 2 baking sheet pans with parchment paper or silicon mats.
  • I use a medium cookie scoop and add 12 scoops to the prepared sheet pan. Take a pinch of sugar and add a small amount to the top of each cookie dough scooped mound. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes. Move the baked cookies to a cooling rack once out of the oven.
