Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • For Rolling: 1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree until just incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This makes it easier to handle.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for rolling.
  • Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls.
  • Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Chilling the dough is key for easy handling and to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
