Description

Soft and chewy pumpkin cookies infused with rich maple syrup and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, capturing the essence of fall in every bite. Perfectly balanced sweetness and moist texture make these cookies an irresistible seasonal treat.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ cup pumpkin purée

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter, sugar, and maple syrup: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  2. Add the egg yolk and pumpkin purée: Mix in the egg yolk and pumpkin purée thoroughly, ensuring the ingredients are fully incorporated to create a smooth wet base for the cookie dough.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agent.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender cookie texture.
  5. Chill the dough: Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape during baking.
  6. Bake the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chilled cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft, then remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Optional additions: Stir in white chocolate chips or chopped pecans for extra texture and flavor.
  • Storage: Keep cookies stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days to maintain freshness.
