Preheat your oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl or mixer, beat the butter until it becomes fluffy, which should take about 5 minutes. Then, add the sugar and continue beating until it is well incorporated and still fluffy.

Next, mix in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until everything is thoroughly combined.

Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until these ingredients are well integrated.

Incorporate the pumpkin gradually, adding it in 1/4 cup increments, and continue mixing until all the pumpkin is included.

Gradually add the flour in small portions until fully incorporated; the dough should be slightly “wet,” which is the desired consistency.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough (we recommend using a tablespoon) onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are set and no longer jiggly.

Whip all the ingredients together until light and fluffy!

Let the cookies cool completely before applying the frosting.

Once frosted, feel free to sprinkle some cinnamon on top if you desire!
