Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground clove
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:

  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and have ready a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove to a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Add the butter and 1 ¾ cup sugar to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. If you do not have a stand mixer, use a large bowl and a handheld mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until lightened in color and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix after each addition. Add the vanilla and the pumpkin and mix on medium speed until combined.
  • With the mixer on low, gradually mix in the dry ingredients. The dough will be sticky. Set aside, and in a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized mounds of dough and place onto the baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2" apart. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies lightly with about a ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the edges of the bottom edges of the cookies are tinging golden-brown.
