Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted & slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 Tablespoons pumpkin puree see note
  • 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips optional, plus a few extra for the tops

Coating

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the vanilla and blotted pumpkin until smooth. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula.
  • Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Scoop the dough, about 1.5 Tablespoons of dough per cookie, and roll each into balls. Roll each cookie dough ball generously in the cinnamon-sugar coating. Arrange cookie dough balls 3 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
  • Bake for 11–12 minutes or until the edges appear set. Remove from the oven.
  • Cool cookies on the baking sheets for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can make the cookie dough up to 3 days in advance. Baked cookies freeze well for up to 3 months.
