- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup granulated sugar for the coating.
- Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is truly softened for the best texture.
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Do not overbake the cookies; they will continue to set as they cool.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
