Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy.
- Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated.
- Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, you can add 1-2 tbsp of cream cheese to the dough mixture.
- These cookies are also great when topped with a glaze made from powdered sugar and a bit of milk.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
