Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree and egg to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mix.
  7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden around the edges.

Notes

Keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can freeze the dough for up to 2 months; just scoop and freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Reheat cookies in the microwave for 10 seconds to revive that fresh-baked softness.
