Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 Tablespoon pumpkin spice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups (350 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- For rolling: ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- For rolling: 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Instructions
- Combine butter, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Stir on low speed until well incorporated, scraping the bowl sides and bottom as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until completely combined. Scrape the bowl sides and bottom to finish mixing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, whisk together the granulated sugar and pumpkin spice for rolling in a small bowl.
- Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough into 1 ½ Tablespoon (35g) sized balls.
- Roll each ball through the sugar/pumpkin spice mixture until fully coated. Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches (5cm) apart.
- Bake on the center rack at 350F (175C) for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before moving them.
Notes
- These cookies pair well with coffee or tea.
- The dough requires chilling time for best texture.
