Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until combined. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer for about 1-2 minutes. Then mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, followed by the pumpkin puree.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare two large baking sheets by spraying or lining them with silicone mats.
- Scoop tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared sheets, keeping about 2 inches between each cookie.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the white sugar and 4 teaspoons of cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in this mixture and return them to the baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until set. While the first batch bakes, refrigerate the remaining dough. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough is essential for easy handling.
