1 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup maple syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup butter
Substitution options: applesauce for pumpkin, honey for maple syrup, whole wheat flour for all-purpose, etc.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and maple syrup until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and egg until evenly mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges start turning golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
