Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree

- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
