Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 cup Real Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar (Light or Dark), packed
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • Optional Mix-ins (e.g., white chocolate chips, chopped pecans or walnuts, dried cranberries)
  • For the Maple Glaze (Optional): 1 cup Powdered Sugar, 2-3 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup, 1-2 tablespoons Milk or Cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and packed brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the large egg until fully incorporated. Then, add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
  6. If adding optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the dough with a rubber spatula.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To make the optional maple glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk or cream until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Keywords: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture. Don't overmix the dough to keep cookies tender, and consider chilling the dough for improved flavor and texture.
