Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup (80g) pumpkin puree
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly glossy. They will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before baking.’, ‘Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.’, ‘Pull the cookies out of the oven as soon as the edges are set for a soft and chewy texture.’, ‘Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking.’]
