Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dry Mix
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. This is your dry mix.
3. Cream the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla until smooth and well-blended.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mix, stirring until just combined. If you’re feeling fancy, add in the white chocolate chips.
5. Scoop the Dough
Scoop tablespoon-sized dollops of the dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space for the cookies to spread as they bake.
6. Bake the Cookies
Bake your cookies for 12-14 minutes until the edges are slightly golden but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
