  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until fully combined and smooth.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
