Harvest Spice Pumpkin Cookies are a delightful treat, combining the warm flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create a cozy aroma. Their soft and chewy texture, paired with just the right amount of sweetness, makes them the perfect snack or dessert for Fall!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and beat well. Mix in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. (Avoid overmixing to ensure the cookies stay soft.)
- Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers appear set (approx. 12 -15 minutes).
- Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
