Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together the softened butter and honey in a large mixing bowl.
Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in any chopped nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy your Buttery Honey Pumpkin Cookies warm or at room temperature!
