I had some pumpkin puree leftover this week so I thought I would make a cookie to use it up. This is an easy mix, chill and bake cookie that is perfect for fall.

Finished Pumpkin sugar cookies on a white dish with a spoonful of pumpkin puree on the side.

It is time to welcome the start of fall, and what better way than pumpkin sugar cookies. I love the smell of all the spices that this season brings.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups Sugar 297 g
2 ½ cups All-purpose flour 300 g
½ teaspoon Baking powder 2g
½ teaspoon Salt 2g
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
14 tablespoon Unsalted butter 1 ¾ stick at room temputure
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Egg yolk
½ cup Pure pumpkin puree

Instructions

In large bowl measure and add flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and whisk together.
Using your mixer on medium speed mix sugar and butter till light in color and sugar is incorporated.
Mix in the egg yolk, vanilla, and pumpkin.
Turn your mixer to low speed and slowly add in the flour mixture until combined. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Put your cookie dough into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to get the butter back to a cooler temperature.
Preheat your oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheet pans with parchment paper or silicon mats.
I use a medium cookie scoop and drop onto the parchment paper. I get 12 to a pan. Take a pinch of suger and add a small amount onto the top of each cookie mound. I bake 1 pan at a time.
Bake for 16 to 18 minutes. Leave on pan for a minute or 2 before moving to the cooling rack. Let them cool completely.
