Amazing Texture. I have found that a lot of pumpkins cookies are really cake like. I prefer my cookie to have the texture of a cookie and like them soft and chewy. Melting the butter in this recipe helps give you that chewier texture.

- Butter, room temperature. I use salted butter.

- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
