Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Cream cheese frosting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir in the pumpkin puree until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. You can flatten them slightly with the bottom of a glass if desired.
  9. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. If desired, frost the cooled cookies with cream cheese frosting.

Notes

  • For a stronger pumpkin pie flavor, you can add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
  • Chill the dough for longer if it seems too soft to handle.
  • These cookies are delicious plain or with a simple glaze.
