Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Pumpkin and Egg: Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, ensuring they are well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves), and salt until evenly mixed.

          Mix Dry with Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Add-ins: If you're using white chocolate chips and nuts, fold them into the cookie dough until distributed evenly.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should still be soft in the center.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Bliss Cookies with a warm cup of cider or your favorite autumn drink!
