Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 can pumpkin puree – 540 ml
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2.5 cups flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions
Preheat oven to 350* and prepare baking sheets by covering with parchment paper.
In medium mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
In a stand mixer cream the butter and sugar together. Add the pumpkin puree, egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Beat on low speed until well combined. Stir in your cranberries, nuts, coconut or any other addition you can think of!
