Servings: 2 dozen
Calories: 1203kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp pumpkin spice
- 3 tbsp finely chopped crystallized ginger
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup 1 stick butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
For rolling cookie dough balls before baking
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin spice and crystallized ginger till well combined.
- Fit the stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or use a hand mixer with a large bowl and cream together butter and sugars until well combined and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes on high.
- Add in room temperature egg yolk, vanilla extract and pumpkin puree, mixing until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl so everything is incorporated.
- Carefully add in dry ingredients with mixer on low until just combined. Careful not to overmix!
- Cover cookie dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a shallow dish, thoroughly combine 2 tbsp granulated sugar with 1 tsp pumpkin spice with a fork until well mixed.
- Form the cookie dough into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar and pumpkin spice mixture. Place cookie dough balls on parchment or silpat lined baking sheets, leaving about a 1 ½ inches of space between them so they don't run together when they spread in the oven.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes until cookies are set. They will be golden and crackly on the top. Let cool for about 5 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure that you chill your cookie dough before baking. This is critical to getting a chewy cookie, ensuring that they do not spread too much during the baking process.
