Soft, chewy cookies bursting with fall flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup—perfect for cozy autumn baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffed. Avoid overbaking.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For puffier cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use real maple syrup for the best flavor.
