Time 1h5m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup butter-flavored shortening
¼ cup brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar, divided
¼ cup molasses
1 large egg, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Slowly melt shortening in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Combine cooled shortening with brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, molasses, and egg; mix well.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl until well blended. Add to the moist ingredients and use your hands to gently push the mixture together, similar to kneading. Dough will be quite crumbly; do not add any liquids. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with butter. Place remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a small, shallow bowl.
  • Work about 1 tablespoon chilled dough at a time and roll into a ball. Lightly roll balls into sugar to coat and place on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 9 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
