Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in a medium bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined.
- Add the pumpkin puree and beat until well combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 increments into the mixing bowl. Scrape the bowl once and mix again until well combined; be careful not to over-mix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Place the granulated sugar and confectioners sugar in separate small bowls and set aside. Roll tablespoonfuls of chilled dough into balls, then roll in the granulated sugar and generously in the confectioners' sugar. Arrange 2 inches apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Position the oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 ºF—line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Bake until the pumpkin crinkle cookies spread, the tops crack, and edges are just firm, 14 to 16 minutes, switching. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust the pumpkin crinkle cookies with more confectioners' sugar, if desired. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
