Notes
- Use thick pumpkin puree for best texture.
- Chill dough for 20 minutes if you prefer firmer cookies.
- Flatten cookies slightly before baking as they don’t spread much.
- Don’t overbake — cookies should be just set for a chewy texture.
- Customize with nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for variety.
