Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

Instruction

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl or your stand mixer at medium speed, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy; 1-2 minutes.
  • Beat in pumpkin, egg and vanilla until smooth; about 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt, just until combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat 350 degree oven. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone or parchment paper.
  • Pour granulated sugar into a shallow dish.
  • Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball with your hands (dough will be slightly sticky), then roll in the sugar mixture. Repeat with all of the cookie dough. Arrange 1-2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and press down lightly with your palm.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are golden on top and lightly browned on the bottom.
  • Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
