  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden on the edges.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with icing before serving.

Notes
