Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Cookies:

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
    • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
    • 1 large egg yolk
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp baking soda
    • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
    • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
    • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Coating:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the coating.
  • Shape and Coat the Cookies:

    • Scoop out 1 1/2-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls.
    • Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  • Bake the Cookies:

    • Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are soft.
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewiness, don’t overbake the cookies. They should look slightly underdone in the center when you take them out.
  • You can add a little extra cinnamon to the dough for a stronger spice flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
