Ingredients
| 1 ½ | white sugar |
|---|---|
| 1 | cup pumpkin puree |
| ½ | cup butter, softened |
| 1 | egg |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 2 ¾ | all-purpose flour |

| 2. | In a large bowl, combine the white sugar, pumpkin puree, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. |
| 3. | In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to the pumpkin mixture until a soft dough forms. |
