- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup can pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 1 large egg

- Using a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the cookie dough and place it on one of the prepared baking sheets. Space the dough balls at least 2 inches apart.

Notes
My Top Tip: Drain excess liquid from the pumpkin puree. Blot it dry with a paper towel or strain it in a colander or fine-mesh strainer.
Storage: Store cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
Freezing: Freeze the cookies uncovered on a baking sheet. Once they're solid, transfer them to freezer bags. They'll last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw a room temperature until softened.
