Soft, chewy cookies with a delicate pumpkin flavor, coated in cinnamon sugar that crackles slightly as you bite into them. The ultimate fall treat—comforting, nostalgic, and oh-so-delicious.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon sugar mixture for rolling.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
  8. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft. Avoid overbaking!
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Measure your flour carefully to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for proper mixing.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Avoid overbaking for soft and chewy cookies.’, ‘Double the cinnamon sugar mixture for extra coating or sprinkling.’]
