To begin, preheat your oven to 350°(F). If you are using a baking stone, preheat the stone as well.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir those together and set aside for now.
In your mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
Mix in the eggs and the pumpkin. Stir.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir until combined.
Stir in the chopped nuts.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a sheet of parchment paper with a cookie scoop. Or use a spoon and spatula, smoothing the tops of the cookie with the back of your spoon.
Using a cooling rack, slide the sheet of parchment paper and cookie dough onto your baking sheet or preheated baking stone.
Bake for 16-20 minutes.
Carefully transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely. (Watch the recipe video to see my tips about this!)
Repeat with all of the cookie dough.
Enjoy!
Notes
See the video for my parchment paper trick, to slice your baking time in the kitchen!If you like, mix up a cream cheese glaze to drizzle over the top.If you do not have parchment paper, you can bake the cookies on a greased baking sheet.
