Description

These soft and chewy Pumpkin Spice Cookies are a perfect fall treat, filled with the comforting warmth of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The addition of pumpkin puree makes them moist and flavorful, while optional chopped walnuts add a satisfying crunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • 2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and cloves.
  • Make the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. Fold in the walnuts if using.
  • Scoop the Cookies: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  • Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If you prefer a softer, cakier texture, avoid overbaking the cookies.
  • For a fun twist, drizzle the cooled cookies with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
