Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and maple syrup until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the pumpkin puree and egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
