Time 2h

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Place the butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla. Beat until just combined.
  • Whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin spice mix, the baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining half of the dry ingredients until a thick dough comes together. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the granulated sugar with the remaining 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix in a small bowl.
  • Shape the cookie dough using a heaping tablespoon and roll between your palms to form a round ball. Repeat until all the dough is rolled into balls. Place the balls into the spiced sugar and toss until completely coated. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Use your palms or the tines of a fork to press the cookies into thick disks.
  • Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

PUMPKIN SPICE SOFT SUGAR COOKIES



Pumpkin Spice Soft Sugar Cookies image

If a homemade pumpkin pie and a soft sugar cookie had little cookies of their own, well, let these speak for themselves. Add your favorite seasoned nuts if you wish. I happened to have had some caramelized sugar I had previously made and I crushed this up and added to the top of some of the cookies just before baking.

PUMPKIN SPICE ROLL-OUT SUGAR COOKIES. | LIFE'S A BATCH RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Pumpkin Spice Roll-out Sugar Cookies. | Life's a Batch Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by dedmund

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup turbinado sugar**
3/4 teaspoon, baking powder
3/4 teaspoon, salt
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour**

Steps:

  • Cream together the butter and brown sugar until light & fluffy (about 3-4 minutes on medium speed). Add in the turbinado sugar, and cream for an extra minute or so. Add the baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice; mix well. Add the egg & milk; beat well. Add the flour, mixing until well-combined. The dough should be soft & not sticky. Turn out onto sheets of waxed paper & roll. Cut out shapes, and transfer to baking sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat liners. Freeze sheets for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 365°F. Remove cookies from freezer and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges begin to have a hint of brown. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with royal icing, if desired. These are FABULOUS plain, too! ** Substitutions: You can substitute regular granulated sugar for the turbinado sugar. You'll lose those little bits of "crunch," but the end result is just as tasty. Alternately, you can also use just the brown sugar, but you'll need to increase it to 1 1/4 cups total. You can use regular all-purpose flour with great results as well. It is not quite as dense as whole wheat flour, so make sure you change the amount to about 3 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour instead.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting and pureeing a pumpkin, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • If you don't have a pumpkin spice blend, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
  • To make the cookies even more festive, you can decorate them with orange and black sprinkles or candy corn.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. With their warm and inviting spices and festive appearance, these cookies are sure to be a hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a sweet and seasonal snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
