Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and spices.
In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the canned pumpkin until incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture; stir until just combined.
