Ingredients
  

  • cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ cup unsalted sweet cream butter softened
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • With the mixer on low speed, add molasses, buttermilk and dry ingredients alternately in 3 parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, beating just until incorporated.
  • Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
