Ingredients
Scale
- All-purpose flour 2 1/4 cups
- Pumpkin puree 1 cup
- Unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Brown sugar, packed 3/4 cup
- Granulated sugar 1/4 cup
- Egg 1 large
- Pumpkin pie spice 2 teaspoons
- Baking soda 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and pumpkin puree until well combined.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Step 4: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Step 5: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Step 6: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their soft texture.
- For a warm, gooey treat, microwave a cookie for 10-15 seconds before enjoying.
- Serve these delightful pumpkin pie cookies with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of autumn flavor.
- To enhance the pumpkin pie spice flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
