Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.

In a large bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine. Stir in pumpkin puree until just combined.

Step 4

Drop by 1/4 cup-full (or heaping tablespoon full) onto prepared baking sheet.
