Ingredients

To whip up these delightful cookies, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice (a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional for an extra touch of sweetness)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Pumpkin Spice Cookies:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until well combined, creating a smooth base for your cookies.

3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 2 cups of flour, one teaspoon of baking soda, and two teaspoons of pumpkin spice to the wet mixture. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to tougher cookies.

4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using, gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the dough. This adds a delightful sweetness and texture to your cookies.

5. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This prevents the cookies from sticking and helps with cleanup.

6. Drop Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. This allows them to expand while baking without merging.

7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; the edges should be lightly golden while the centers remain soft.

8. Cool: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!

Your delicious Pumpkin Spice Cookies are now ready to enjoy! Whether you’re hosting a fall gathering or simply treating yourself, these cookies are sure to evoke warm memories of cozy autumn days. Serve them with a cup of hot cider or coffee for the perfect seasonal snack!
