Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 60 grams brown sugar
- 120 grams pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! These cookies are especially delicious with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea.
