Soft, chewy, and perfectly spiced cookies with a hint of pumpkin flavor, ideal for fall gatherings or cozy treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for rolling.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  9. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chilling the dough prevents spreading and enhances flavor.’, ‘Use fresh spices for the best flavor.’, ‘Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to retain moisture.’]
