Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, blend the mixture until it is smooth, creamy, and everything is thoroughly incorporated.

      Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this may result in tough cookies.

        Add Optional Ingredients: If you're choosing to add chocolate chips or chopped peanuts for extra flavor and texture, fold them into the dough now, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be lightly golden, and the centers should feel set. They may appear slightly underbaked in the middle, but they will firm up as they cool.

              Cool: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This will help them firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: After cooling, serve these delightful cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite fall beverage. For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

                    - Presentation Tips: For an inviting touch, sprinkle a few chocolate chips or chopped peanuts on top of each cookie just after they come out of the oven for a beautiful finish. Enjoy!
