Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  • Add the flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice to a large mixing bowl and mix with a whisk.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar and softened butter. Mix well on medium speed until nice and creamy (about 3-4 minutes), using the paddle attachment.
  • Add the egg, pumpkin, and vanilla and mix on low speed.
  • Add the flour mixture, a cup at a time to the mixture, on low speed, until combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours (or more).
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon sugar mixture together.
  • Using a cookie scoop, take 1 scoop of the refrigerated cookie dough, roll into a ball then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
  • Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and using the back of a cup flatten a little. Repeat until cookie sheet is filled (2” apart) - try to work quickly or the cookie dough will get soft to handle. If that happens, refrigerate again between batches.
  • Bake for 8-10 Minutes.
  • Allow to sit on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
