Ingredients

  • 1 stick melted butter
  • cup brown sugar packed
  • cup pumpkin puree blotted dry
  • 1 cup unbleached flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl pour in melted butter and sugar and whisk together.
  • Measure out the pumpkin puree and then dump it onto a paper towel. Blot the top of the pumpkin with another paper towel then whisk it into the butter and sugar.
  • Whisk in spices, salt, and baking soda. Make sure baking soda is whisked in very well and there are no chunks.
  • Measure in the flour and stir in with a wooden spoon.
  • Cover the dough and allow it to rest in the fridge for at least an hour or longer.
  • When you are ready to bake. Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Scoop out about a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball and press it down gently with your fingers.
  • Continue to do this until you have used all the dough. You can sprinkle a little granulated sugar on the top of each cookie (this is optional).
  • Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are brown and the center is a little soft.
