I adapted this recipe from The Crepes of Wrath. I will say, they are still a bit of a cakey cookie, as so many with pumpkin are. They are so delicious, but they are a bit sticky (hello, caramel!).
But the flavor on these. Oh my. And you can’t skimp on the sea salt, it’s really what brings this cookie all together and keeps it from being cloyingly sweet. It’s like pumpkin perfection.
With an electric mixer combine butter, brown sugar and sugar and beat until light and creamy. Add in egg and mix until combined. Add in vanilla and pumpkin and mix until well combined.
