Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the pumpkin puree and eggs, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in chocolate chips or walnuts.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For variations, consider swapping in gluten-free flour or using sugar alternatives. These cookies can be served warm with ice cream and can be stored for a week in an airtight container at room temperature.
