Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup pumpkin puree
0.5 cup chopped walnuts
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet for baking.
Cream together the sugar and butter until smooth. Then, stir in the pumpkin puree, egg, chopped walnuts, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned and firm, approximately 15 minutes. Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
