1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
1 cup Pure pumpkin puree
¾ cup Brown sugar
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
¼ cup Maple syrup
½ cup Unsalted butter, softened
1 large Egg
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and egg, mixing well until combined.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
If possible, cover the dough and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
