Ingredients

  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix!)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ¾ teaspoon real vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups unbleached flour

  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Topping:

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine sugars and butter, mixing well. Blend in the pumpkin puree. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flour, spices, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients just until combined. Do not over-mix.
  • Cover dough with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, prepare cinnamon sugar topping.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and scoop by heaping tablespoons and roll into balls. Roll dough balls in cinnamon-sugar and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Space at least 2″ apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Keep your remaining dough refrigerated while cookies are baking and make sure the baking sheet is completely cooled before baking another batch.
  • Cool 20 minutes on cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
