PUMPKIN SUGAR COOKIES Recipe

Classic sugar cookies This pumpkin sugar cookie recipe is fall-inspired! The cookie dough is made with pumpkin puree and pie spice, then cut and decorated like pumpkins.

– 3 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled (375 grams) – 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice – 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – 1 teaspoon baking powder – ½ teaspoon salt

Ingredient

– 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks; 230 grams) – 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams) – ½ cup pumpkin puree (120 grams before blotting out moisture; 80 grams after blotting) – 2 large egg yolks at room temperature – 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Direction

Mix the dry ingredients: Mix flour, spices, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix butter and sugar: Beat the butter until smooth in another bowl before adding the granulated sugar (I used my stand mixer).

Blot the pumpkin: Spread pumpkin puree on a plate and blot with more paper towels. Avoid skipping this step to avoid cakey cookies!

Add more wet goods: Blotted pumpkin puree needs butter, egg yolks, and vanilla. Incorporate dry ingredients. Wet/dry mix. Thick dough. Rubber spatulas or hands mix cookie dough.

Roll the dough on lightly floured parchment. Add half the dough and another parchment. Use 1/4-inch dough between two parchment papers. Repeat with remaining dough and two parchment papers.”

Chill the dough: Refrigerate the rolled-out cookie dough sheets in parchment paper for an hour. Giving the butter time to firm up will help your cookies hold their shape.

Cut out the dough: Remove the top parchment paper from each sheet of cookie dough and cut it out with a 3-inch cookie cutter. Place pumpkin sugar cookie cutouts on parchment-lined baking sheets.
