Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Scoop and Bake:
    • Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
  6. Cool and Drizzle:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Drizzle with caramel sauce once cooled. Gently heat the caramel sauce if needed for easier drizzling.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a festive touch, use a piping bag or zip-top bag to drizzle the caramel in a decorative pattern.
  • These cookies are soft and cake-like, so handle them gently when transferring to the cooling rack.
