Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cup plus 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Mix together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, molasses, and vanilla until smooth and well-combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Scoop the dough into 1.5-inch balls and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.

7. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Measure ingredients precisely for best results.

Don’t overbake; keep a close eye on cookies during baking.
