Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the pumpkin puree and egg until well incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Scoop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
