Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 60 grams brown sugar
• 120 grams pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 120 grams chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 7

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! These cookies are especially delicious with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea.
