Ingredients

Scale

1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg; mix until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and combine until just mixed—avoid overmixing for tender cookies.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets with space in between.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
