Calories: 98kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup chocolate chips (Optional)
- 1 cup raisins (Optional)
- ½ cup walnuts (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a cookie sheet or line with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg, pumpkin, and vanilla, and stir to combine.
- Fold in the dry ingredients just until combined. Add any of the optional items that you wish.
- Drop dough by heaping teaspoons 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are set and the bottoms are golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
Notes
I use salted butter, but unsalted will work just as well. Shortening can also be used instead of butter.
