  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and set.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
