Maple Pumpkin Cookies are the ultimate soft and chewy fall dessert, combining the rich flavor of pure maple syrup with the warm spices and moist texture of pumpkin.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, chocolate chips, or rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until light and fluffy.
  3. Add pumpkin purée, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
  6. Fold in any optional add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or oats.
  7. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to help prevent spreading.
  8. Scoop dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft.
  10. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough enhances flavor and texture.
  • Use maple extract for extra maple flavor without additional liquid.
  • Let cookies cool completely before adding glaze or frosting.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep them soft.
