Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 120 grams pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too thick, add up to 1 tablespoon of milk to soften it slightly.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls 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 but the centers still appear soft.
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 warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your Simple Pumpkin Cookies!
