Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Add in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla, mixing well to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies stay fresh for several days in an airtight container. Enjoy them with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
