Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix on low speed until well combined.
