Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cream of tartar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for rolling.
  7. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can make the dough ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Roll and bake when ready.
  • For an extra chewy cookie, slightly underbake them.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
