Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Pumpkin spice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Optional: White chocolate chips or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
If desired, fold in the optional white chocolate chips or chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds 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 set and the cookies are slightly puffed. Do not overbake; they will continue to firm up slightly as they cool.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious pumpkin spice cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
