How to Make Maple Pumpkin Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 cup granulated sugar (or 1 cup Splenda) until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and 1/2 cup pumpkin puree.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Use a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop to drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
