Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
