Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

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

For the Icing (optional):

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Sprinkles or other decorations (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
  • Chill the Dough:
    • Divide the dough into two equal portions and flatten them into discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll out.
  • Roll Out and Cut the Cookies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
  • Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Decorate the Cookies (optional):
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If desired, add food coloring to the icing.
    • Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a piping bag or a small spoon to decorate them with the icing. Add sprinkles or other decorations as desired.
  • Serve:
    • Let the icing set completely before serving. Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Cutouts!
