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 (canned or homemade)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, followed by the pumpkin puree.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Refrigerate the dough for 30-40 minutes until firm enough to handle.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare two baking sheets with spray or lining.
- Scoop cookie dough onto the sheets, leaving 2 inches between each dough ball.
- In a small bowl, mix the white sugar and cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in this mixture before placing them on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until set. Refrigerate remaining dough while the first batch is baking. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
