Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice blend. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Mix in egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until a soft dough forms.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out dough balls, about 1 1/2 tablespoons each.
- Place the dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading and achieve a thick, chewy texture. Adjust the pumpkin spice blend to suit your taste.
