Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (225g) pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
  3. Add 1 cup (225g) pure pumpkin puree, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense cookies.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly cracked. The cookies will be soft, so let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optional: Drizzle with cream cheese frosting or dust with cinnamon sugar for an extra special touch.

Notes

Chill the dough if it feels too sticky to handle. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
