Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat pumpkin, egg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract into butter mixture.

Step 3

Whisk flour, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, cloves, allspice, and salt together in a bowl. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and stir until dough is completely combined.

Step 4

Fill a cookie press with pumpkin cookie dough. Press cookies 2-inches apart on baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake cookies in batches in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
