  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 Rubber spatula
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Wire rack
  • 2 Small bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup Canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and blend until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, roll into balls, and then roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  • Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops are cracked.
  • Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best crinkle effect, make sure to roll the cookie dough balls generously in powdered sugar. If the dough feels too sticky when shaping, lightly flour your hands or chill the dough for a bit longer. To enhance the pumpkin flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cloves or ginger to the dry ingredients. Enjoy these cookies as a delightful fall treat with a warm cup of spiced tea or coffee.
