Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled—don’t worry, that’s normal.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft and tender.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together for the coating.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  8. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffed.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for smooth creaming and even baking.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels sticky.’, ‘Use fresh spices for the most vibrant flavor.’, ‘Bake one test cookie to adjust oven temperature or dough consistency if needed.’]
