Method
 

How to Make Irresistible Creamy Pumpkin Lemon Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
  7. Drizzle with a lemon glaze for an extra zesty kick, if desired.
