Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree (about 2 ounces) - NOT pumpkin pie filling!)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- Royal Icing store-bought or homemade; optional, for frosting
Instructions
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, at least 2 minutes.
- Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla. Mix to combine. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients. Mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated—you don’t want to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to ¼-inch thick. Cut out your desired shape using cookie cutters (I’m using a 2-inch pumpkin cookie cutter).
- Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, making sure to place them at least 2 inches apart.
- Place the cookies in the refrigerator or freezer (either will work) to chill for 20 minutes.
- While the dough chills, preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake the chilled cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges and bottoms are just barely golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray.
- Decorate them as desired before serving.
Notes
- Yield: This recipe yields about 18 (2-inch) cookies. You may get more or less depending on the size of your cutter.
- Storage: Store pumpkin sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
