Ingredients

½ cup - cold unsalted butter
½ cup - granulated sugar
3 tablespoons - pumpkin purée
1 tsp - vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups - flour
½ tsp - baking powder
1 pinch - sea salt
1 tsp - pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter and sugar. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
Add in pumpkin purée and vanilla. Stir until well mixed.
Then, add in flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Stir to combine.
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto pan. Gently press down on each dough ball, forming a cookie shape.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden along the edges.
Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes before very carefully transferring to a cooling rack.
