Calories: 97calories
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon sugar topping:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until blended.
- Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula until combined.
- Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each one as the cookies will not spread very much in the oven.
- To make the cinnamon sugar topping, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cookies.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed and lightly browned around the edges. Allow cookies to slightly cool before serving.
Notes
Cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
