Method
 

Making the Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra autumn flair, you can add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt or a drizzle of maple glaze once the cookies have cooled.
