Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until combined.
  4. Mix in pumpkin puree. The mixture may look slightly curdled—don’t worry, that’s normal.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffed. Avoid overbaking.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Make sure your butter and egg yolk are at room temperature for even mixing.’, ‘Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.’, ‘Use fresh spices for the best flavor.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft.’, ‘Test bake one or two cookies first to check the baking time.’]
