Optional:

• 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional for added texture and flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Mix until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
5. Form Cookie Dough Balls:
   • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Flatten Cookies (Optional):
   • If you prefer flatter cookies, gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
7. Bake:
   • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the tops are set.
8. Cool and Enjoy:
   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cookies warm or at room temperature.
