Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped nuts optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and honey until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  6. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
