Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips and nuts until evenly distributed in the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  9. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice alongside the cinnamon and nuts.
  • Mix the dough just until combined to keep your cookies soft and chewy.
  • Pumpkin Spice Cookies taste best when served warm out of the oven.
  • A simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk can add an extra sweetness to your cookies.
  • Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition.
  • Incorporate ground allspice or cardamom for a more complex flavor.
  • Use this dough to make larger cookies and sandwich cream cheese frosting between two cookies for a delightful treat.
