Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For Rolling:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
  2. Chill the Dough:
    • Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
  3. Shape the Cookies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
    • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of the chilled dough and roll them into balls.
    • Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar until completely coated.
    • Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops have cracked.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is well-chilled to prevent spreading during baking.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
