Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and baking powder until well combined.
Gradually fold in the flour until just combined—avoid overmixing for light cookies.
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool on wire racks before frosting with cream cheese icing made from powdered sugar mixed with softened cream cheese.
