  • 1/2 cup white sugar plus 3 tbsp sugar for rolling
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

Blot the pumpkin
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the pumpkin puree to a bowl or plate lined with a paper towel.
  2. Blot the pumpkin puree to remove the excess moisture.
Prepare the sugar spice.
  1. Add 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice to a shallow bowl and 2-3 tbsp of white sugar. Mix and set aside.
Make the cookie batter.
  1. Add the melted butter, pumpkin puree, brown and white sugars to a large bowl. Mix until fully incorporated. Next, add the egg yolk and vanilla and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
  2. Add the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, and 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice). Mix well until all the dry ingredients are combined with the wet ingredients. Don’t overmix.
  3. Roll a spoonful of cookie batter into your hand and then roll it into the sugar spice mix.
  4. Chill the cookies in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or overnight). The longer, the better.
Bake the cookies
  1. Once ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 325ºF, and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
  2. Bake at 325ºF for 12-18 mins until the cookies look set and start to brown a little.
  3. Cool slightly on the tray then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
